These Blue Remembered Hills

by Michele Deppe

Sometimes, the only way out of heartbreak is to go straight through.

Mollie Purslow’s peers are keen to escape the small, English village of Marris Mynd. Only Mollie wants everything, and everyone, to remain the same. At her farm high in the beautiful Shropshire hills, Mollie aims to carry on with her late father’s passion for farming and creating artisan cheese. But her life begins to crumble when her boyfriend, Rhys Davies, decides to forge a new future – without her. Following the break-up, Mollie’s childhood friendships dissolve, and her livelihood is threatened, leaving her family at a loss as to how to help her through the darkness that engulfs her. With the unlikely support of an aristocratic young man, an annoying but ever-loyal sister, and the motivation of her dreams, Mollie must persevere past her heartbreak.

Reviews

[J.P. Choquette]

Very much enjoyed this fun, family drama with romantic undertones. I've read all of this author's books and this one was my favorite so far. If you've enjoyed books by authors such as Rosamund Pilcher, Maeve Binchy and Belva Plain, I believe you'd also enjoy "These Blue Remembered Hills".

Beautifully written and set in England, the novel intertwines the stories of a family of three daughters and their mother--and is told from different perspectives. Also, one of the main characters is a goat farmer and the descriptions of the cheeses and other products she makes was really interesting. Easy to see the the author did her research well.

Though this is outside my usual genre (I'm a thriller/suspense lover) it was an excellent "palate cleanser" and kept me looking forward to my daily reading time after lunch. Looking forward to the next novel by Michele Deppe!
