Today it’s my turn to be on the tour for Coming Home To Holly Close Farm by Julie Houston. As I’m a farmer’s daughter I’ve always been drawn to books with a farm element so I thought this new release would be right up my street.
Book Description
Charlie Maddison loves being an architect in London, but when she finds out her boyfriend, Dominic is actually married, she runs back to the beautiful countryside of Westenbury and her parents. Charlie’s sister Daisy, a landscape gardener, is also back home in desperate need of company and some fun.
Their great-grandmother, Madge – now in her early nineties – reveals she has a house, Holly Close Farm, mysteriously abandoned over sixty years ago, and persuades the girls to project manage its renovation.
As work gets underway, the sisters start uncovering their family’s history, and the dark secrets that are hidden at the Farm. A heart-breaking tale of wartime romance, jealousy and betrayal slowly emerges, but with a moral at its end: true love can withstand any obstacle, and, before long, Charlie dares to believe in love again too…
What I Thought
An exciting read, great for a rainy Winter’s afternoon. The author has created characters that draw you in. I love the feisty sisters who stand together against all odds.
A wonderful, heart wrenching at times, romance story told between two different eras of Charlie and her grandmother.
