Hester and Harriet
Hester and Harriet | Hilary Spiers
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Sisters Hester and Harriet are reluctantly driving to visit relatives when they come across a young woman hiding with her baby in a bus shelter. Seeing the perfect excuse for returning to their own warm hearth, the pair insist on bringing Daria and Milo home with them. But with the arrival of a sinister stranger looking for a girl with a baby, followed quickly by their cousins' churlish fifteen-year-old son, Ben, who also appears to be seeking sanctuary, Hester and Harriet's carefully crafted peace and quiet quickly begins to fall apart. And, perhaps, that's exactly what they need.

This was enjoyable but somehow not quite as charming as I'd imagined. Still, it was a sufficiently engaging story and a pretty good set of characters. Perhaps it just needed a little more editing for flow. If I stumble on the second instalment at the library, I would definitely borrow it.

Loved this cozy and festive book with a bit of mystery and a lot of laughs. All I'm gonna say is someone needs to make this a movie with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith as the sisters!
