Summary

Love will always find a way.... Discover the intriguing secrets of Hawthorn Place in this heartfelt dual-time novel, filled with warmth and charm, perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley and Cecelia Ahern.

Two houses, hundreds of miles apart...yet connected always.

When life throws Molly Butterfield a curveball, she decides to spend some time with her recently widowed granddad, Wally, at Hawthorn Place, his quirky Victorian house on the Dorset coast.

But cosseted Molly struggles to look after herself, never mind her grieving granddad, until the accidental discovery of an identical Arts and Crafts house on the Norfolk coast offers her an unexpected purpose, as well as revealing a bewildering mystery.

Discovering that both Hawthorn Place and Acacia House were designed by architect Percy Gladwell, Molly uncovers the secret of a love which linked them, so powerful it defied reason.

What follows is a summer which will change Molly for ever....

A magical love story

The Secrets of Hawthorn Place is a truly magical love story in a truly magical house. Hawthorn Place is as much of a character in the story as Molly and I would love to live there.

Intriguing story and very enjoyable

Loved the story. Fairly slow paced. Molly was frustrating in her ignorance! I found the difference in speed of male and female narration annoying and had to keep adjusting speed

Magical

Anyone who likes romantic fiction will love this book. It is a wonderful story I didn’t want to end. Highly recommend it. The narrator spoke too slowly for me but fine once I increased the speed.

Lovely Love story

I liked this book from the start although I thought it a bit far fetched at first but still enjoyable. I'm glad I stuck with it as it turned into a lovely warm love story.
