*****

Jo hasn’t seen Oliver since that magical, life-changing summer when their idyllic island paradise was shattered. Growing up on Walnut Tree Island, they were everything to each other, defying a feud that fractured their families decades before. If first love runs deep, Jo and Oliver’s ran like the river itself, fast and true.

On Walnut Tree Island, love affairs and secrets come and go like the tides. Once the pulse of a flourishing 1960s music scene, it’s where Mary Star fell in love with a young musician about to hit the big time, only to be left with a baby and a broken heart. Mary has made the island a haven for two generations of Star women, raising her daughter and her granddaughter, surrounded by the river, supported by a bohemian, artistic community.

But Oliver’s return to the island after years away throws everyone into a frenzy. The threat of change is coming to paradise. And for Jo, Oliver’s return opens the wounds of a love she thought she had lost for ever…

Beautifully written, featuring a cast of magnetic characters, River of Stars is the captivating new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Georgina Moore.

Although this was a well written romance I found it so predictable. Whether it’s because I’m old and have read rather a lot of what used to be called “chick lit”, I only had to listen to the first few chapters outlining the back story to know exactly what the plot was going to be. I really enjoy listening to the narrator, and once again she didn’t disappoint. Additionally, although the plot was predictable I found the setting interesting enough to keep me listening although I did skip some of it. I was very glad I got it via the Plus catalogue though.
