It reminded me of a Maive Binchy. A group of interconnected characters and how they relate to each other.

It is summer and the best time to catch up on Marcia Willet's novels. This one includes characters from previous books. I love her books. She is often compared to Rosemund Pilcher, much more recognized here in the US but I like her books better. SHe deals with modern people and contemporary situations set in the backdrop of English country living. SHe is a must read if you like cottages, tea and dogs running about the countryside!

Pleasant novel involving various people who help each other, mostly in Cornwall. An injured dancer, two men with very different secrets, and various others. A little slow to get started, and rather a lot of characters, but enjoyable once it got moving.

I gave this four stars because it is the type of book that appeals to me for plain old easy reading. It is not memorable but comfortable.
The descriptions of nature and the characters were delightful and I enjoyed getting involved in their lives.

Classic Marcia Willett - she paints a beautiful story in England. I love how she develops the relationships between the characters. Each character evolves and grows with the highs and lows of life.

I really did enjoy this book. It gave me TONS to think about and consider. The back of the book says it's a "family drama" and I thin that is the best way to explain it.
