She really isn't herself and the last thing she needs is her estranged sister trying to get in touch with her. Taken under Penny’s broken wing for the summer, the safe haven of Pendruggan feels like the place for a fresh start. Adam is the new local GP and he's also setting up a practice in the garden where he offers his patients alternative healing methods. Prudence, hard-nosed businesswoman married to the meek and mild Francis, is about to get a shock reminder that you should never take anything for granted. Set in the beautiful Cornish village of Pendruggan, this is a story that immediately draws the reader in and makes them feel like a fly on the wall to the goings on of a variety of characters - some more likeable than others!

I won't say any more and give spoilers, but I'll just say that I really felt the ending let the book down. She has a calm, gentle personality and it’s almost as though her voice is in my head narrating the story.On top of this she receives some startling news about her estranged Mother and the potential of an unwanted visit from her estranged sister Suzie.

Greer Clovelly seems to have it all: beautiful, chic and slender, she’s used to getting her own way. Apart from television presentations, Fern Britton has also featured in advertisements for Ryvita Minis. Fern Britton is very good at describing the personalities of her characters and I like that she makes it possible for her readers to get to know them through and through.She joined hands with the British television presenter, Phillip Schofield to host the famous television magazine show This Morning. Life in Pendruggan is busy and appealing and Fern Britton's inviting and good-natured writing style makes the village come to life extremely well.
