The House of New Beginnings
The House of New Beginnings | Lucy Diamond
8 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
From the bestselling author of The Beach Caf and The Secrets of Happiness Number 11, Princes Square, looks just like the other houses on the Brighton seafront: a Regency terrace with elegant sash windows, a winding staircase, and post piled up in the hall for its tenants. It might be part of the city's history, but it's also a place of brand new beginnings. Georgie has followed her childhood sweetheart to Brighton but is determined to carve out a career for herself in journalism. Throwing herself into the city's delights is fun and exciting, but before she knows it, she's sliding into all kinds of trouble . . . Charlotte's in the city for a new start, hoping to keep her head down and somehow get over the heartbreaking loss she's suffered in the past. But Margot, the stylish old lady on the top floor, has other ideas. Like it or not, Charlotte must confront the outside world, and the possibilities it still holds. A terrible revelation sent Rosa running from London to start again as a sous chef. The work is gruelling and thankless but it's a distraction at least . . . until she comes up against the stroppy teenager next door who challenges her on her lifestyle choices. What if Rosa's passion for food could lead her to more interesting places? As the three tenants find each other, it's as if a whole new chapter of their lives has begun. The House of New Beginnings is a moving and uplifting novel from bestselling author Lucy Diamond.

I loved this book. A lot going on and it was effortless how the writer flowed between the characters before finally bringing them together. There's heartache, romance, friendship, sorrow and joy. What more could you want?

(I have read a lot of books in my life but just this year, I am starting a book log to keep track of books I want to read and books I have read)

I just finished this book as my first of 2018 as I have been reading a lot of thrillers recently and wanted a nice,light read. This book is exactly that and was just as I would expect to be. A lot of the storyline was dragged out, but there was always a lot going on.

RaimeyGallant I'm big into thrillers as well. Looking forward to your reviews! And welcome to Litsy! #LitsyWelcomeWagon Some of us put together Litsy tips to help new Littens navigate the site. It's the link in my bio on my page in case you need it. 6y
LittleRedReadingHood @RaimeyGallant Thank you so much. Just found out about this app when I googled how to keep track of books I have read and thought I would give it a try! I have read many thrillers recently, it's nice to have a little break from them now and again though as it can get too much x 6y
RaimeyGallant Do you have any faves of late? 6y

Another book shop with a section for "language originale." They seem to have mostly light, beachy type books but the fact that they have any at all is impressive, to be honest. And the sentiment on the bookmark is totally appropriate!

This book splits up into three different story lines, with three women. One moved down with her boyfriend, one had a child die and her marriage broke apart and one had her heart broken.

I found the writing In this book plain. I often found myself drifting off into my head. I wouldn't recommend it.
