Summary

Brought to you by Penguin. 

Can happiness be made in Devon?

After the sudden death of her estranged husband, Clare is shocked to discover she has inherited a dog and a small fortune. Convinced by her adult children to finally do something for herself, Clare embarks on a coast-to-coast adventure - until she stumbles upon an unmarked location on the fringes of South Devon. 

When Clare finds herself driving down a narrow road to the tiny village of Little Sorrell, she is met with distant, cold and rude locals. But as she falls in love with a cottage she wishes to call home, can Little Sorrell truly be the place of second chances?

A Great Read!

This is a very likeable story with all right ingredients. Clare, the main character, is a person you know you’d want for a best friend and you can easily imagine living in the cottage and the village and being part of the trials and tribulations that make the story. Really enjoyable.

Brilliant

Really enjoyed it. It was so nice to listen to the epilogue so many stories finish abruptly

Loved this book

Excellently written and narrated. Not the normal romance sage, refreshingly different. I am hoping there will be more from Sheila Norton and Karen Cass. Recommended read. Thank you
