After a few too many mistakes, and glasses of wine, Marnie Salt finds herself confiding her inner most secrets to an elderly lady in a baking chatroom. But little does she know how much this chance encounter will change her life.
Arranging to meet each other for lunch, Marnie is delighted to find Lillian every bit as mad as she’d hoped – and the owner of an entire village in the Yorkshires Dales. When Marnie’s latest error of judgment turns into a full-blown crisis, she seeks out Lillian and temporary refuge at Wychwell.
However, she finds the beauty of Wychwell has claimed her and soon she is duty bound not to leave. With a mammoth task ahead of her, Marnie must use every bit of strength and courage she has left to convince a handful of not so welcoming villagers she’s the right girl for the job.
Can Marnie prove her worth and become an asset to village life, rather than an unpopular interloper?
Johnson always manages to hit high on the feel-good factor chart, and this book is no exception. Wonderfully vivid characters, a perfectly rural setting and a heart-warming plot line to boot!
This story was full of emotions, there would be sadness followed by anger and then happiness and laugh out loud humour within the turn of a page.
Delivered with flawless, flowing writing as always, this book is not your usual rom-com but also encompasses a little mystery along the way.
If you are looking for a light-hearted read to immerse yourself in…look no further!
