I was very excited as I'm a huge Ali McNamara fan, to be given the opportunity to read this book as a pre release in return for for my honest review.
The publication date is 23rd July 2020 so this blog post coincides with its release.

 

Synopsis


Welcome to the glorious little Cornish town of St Felix - where romance and magic sparkle in the summer air

Kate thinks all her wishes have come true when she opens her own little craft shop in the idyllic harbour town of St Felix.

But she soon finds a mystery lingers in her new shop - a sixty-year-old love story told through beautiful paintings and intricate embroideries. 

Jack, the owner of the nearby art shop, volunteers to help Kate unravel the mystery, but in doing so they realise their own lives share some uncanny similarities with Clara and Arty, their 1950s counterparts . . .

Can Kate and Jack put right a decades-old wrong, and maybe find their own happy ending on the way?


My Review



This book, (as have others of Ali McNamara) was set in the charming place called St Felix. We also had a glimpse of characters from previous books, and putting both of this together made it even more enjoyable. (You do not need to read her previous books before you read this but I guarantee you will want to re visit St Felix once you have) 

The characters are from a range of backgrounds, all of which are lovable, this radiates out throughout the book and makes you feel like you want to walk down the cobbled street, browse through the shops and become part of their lives.

The story was a light easy read but absolutely gripping from the first chapter. Its crammed full of Romance, sadness and  a massive twist of magical mystery, it was a definite page turner as I could not put it down. Ali McNamara has produced another amazing book that I did not want to end.

Thank you Little, Brown Book Group UK, netgalley and Ali McNamara for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next book.
