Marnie Salt has made so many mistakes in her life that she fears she will never get on the right track. But when she ‘meets’ an old lady on a baking chatroom and begins confiding in her, little does she know how her life will change.
Arranging to see each other for lunch, Marnie finds discovers that Lilian is every bit as mad and delightful as she’d hoped – and that she owns a whole village in the Yorkshire Dales, which has been passed down through generations. And when Marnie needs a refuge after a crisis, she ups sticks and heads for Wychwell – a temporary measure, so she thinks.
But soon Marnie finds that Wychwell has claimed her as its own and she is duty bound not to leave. Even if what she has to do makes her as unpopular as a force 12 gale in a confetti factory! But everyone has imperfections, as Marnie comes to realise, and that is not such a bad thing – after all, your flaws are perfect for the heart that is meant to love you.
I do love a Milly Johnson, she never disappoints, and this new book is not a disappointment. Devoured this book in a few days.
The characters in this book are well presented and well thought out. I loved everything about this book, from the ups to the downs. Marnie is a great character and this is only edged on by Lilian. How Milly comes up with great characters who bounce off each other I have no idea. The location of Wychwell reminded me of a village on the outskirts of Oxford and could Imagine all this happening, this is a sign on a good writer. I really enjoyed the names of the cottages and everything that went with it. This story makes you think you have the ending when actually you don’t. It keeps you guessing until the end.
Fantastic story. Milly is at her best.
