Welcome to Litsy!

I liked the double storyline of the Grandmother and granddaughter, both inextricably linked to the crumbling old family mansion in the English countryside. Romance, forbidden love, family trauma and secrets are all wrapped up in the story of one fateful summer. Short and sweet, definitely worth a read.

Very reminiscent of Daphne Du Maurier's writing style of Rebecca with English Estate called Cloudesley, Family Secrets, and Forbidden Love. The Gardener in me sooo wants to walk the grounds of Cloudesley. Very intriguing. My only complaint was sometimes transitions between memories and current day were hard to grasp.

I have subscribed to Just the Right Book offered by RJJulia Booksellers and have enjoyed each pick. This is my most recent #bookmail #justtherightbook.Has some mystery, a family saga, a crumbling English estate with secrets in its halls, prodigal granddaughter returning from Australia to care for her ill grandmother. Cooling off on my porch until the predicted thunderstorm to arrives.

Something for us all to think about and live by: “You will never be as young or beautiful as you are today. Be bold. Seize the life that was meant to be yours. Make it magnificent.“

This book has the most gorgeous cover but it just isn‘t gripping me the way I‘d hoped. I do have to power through it though.

This is such a lovely story! I love a dual timeframe tale and this one just gripped me from beginning to end. The interconnecting stories are wonderfully and seamlessly told. The descriptions are vividly depicted with some interesting, well drawn characters. A compelling and captivating story of love in all its forms, jealousy, courage and forgiveness. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended.

I have mixed emotions after finishing this book. I am really glad to have read the conclusion but sad to be saying farewell at the same time.

I love dual timeline books and this is a good example of why.

Such a good read. My favourite book this year so far
