Summary
The perfect escapist listen, for all fans of Cathy Bramley and Scarlett Bailey. A Year at the Star and Sixpence is Holly Hepburn's four Star and Sixpence novellas collected together as a novel for the first time.
When sisters Nessie and Sam inherit a little pub in a beautiful country village, they jump at the chance to escape their messy lives and start afresh. But when they arrive at the Star and Sixpence, it's not quite what they imagined - it's pretty much derelict, ruined by debts, and it's going to be a huge job to get it up and running again. But they are determined to make the best of this new life, and they set about making the pub the heart of the village once again. Their first year at the Star and Sixpence won't be easy, though nothing worth doing ever is.
But when the sisters' past comes back to haunt them, they start to think that the fresh start they needed is very far away indeed....
Curl up with A Year at the Star and Sixpence - the perfect novel to start the new year the way you mean to go on.
A Year at the Star and Sixpence is the collected Star and Sixpence novellas. If you have already enjoyed the novellas, then you have already enjoyed A Year at the Star and Sixpence. For new novellas from Holly, check out her Picturehouse by the Sea series, starting in January 2017!

Lovely story but 4 books in 1!
This book was written in four parts, one for each season of the year. Probably originally sold separately on Kindle! Really enjoyed the first one but once 'Summer ' started, it became obvious that it didn't flow and at the beginning of each new season, we got a recap on characters and the storyline, reiterating various facts and lots of repeats!
Such a shame that whoever decided to release this as a whole book for sale didn't edit it that way. The repartition was just annoying!
Good plot and strong characters, with nice if a little predictable outcomes. Very much a nearly but not quite one for me and will be a little wary of anything else I see by this author. A real pity as it has so much potential!

Charming!
I really enjoyed this book! It is charming, romantic, evocative and totally the right story to listen to at night as you drift off to sleep. Beautifully narrated, it is undemanding with a satisfactory ending that made me sigh with contentment. May there be many more such delights...
