"Light and breezy and jam-packed with charm, this gentle romance about having the strength to let go and follow your heart will have all of us longing for a Cornish retreat this summer."
Jess’ life is thrown upside down when her marriage comes to an unexpected end. Seeking comfort, and a place to heal, she and daughter Lola head for the Cornish coast and her grandpa’s slightly ramshackle home, Renweneth Farm. Like Jess herself, the farmhouse is in need of a little love and the kind support of old friends and new acquaintances, but over the course of a bumpy summer, something quite wonderful starts to take shape. The first in Linn B Halton’s Escape to Cornwall series is just the kind of novel we need more of in our lives right now: it’s uplifting, nourishing and good for the soul! The transformation of the farmhouse is a beautiful metaphor for Jess’s own recovery from life’s setbacks, and the arrival of love-interest Riley is handled with perfect tenderness. There are so many gorgeous relationships in this life-affirming tale (guaranteed every reader will find one that strikes a chord with them) but for me, how Jess and her grandpa help each other learn to let go of their sadness and put their dreams for the farmhouse back on track was especially touching. Family breakdowns are an unfortunate reality of life, but Summer at the Cornish Farmhouse reminds us that it can also be an opportunity for new adventures – and a second chance to find happiness in love. What a treat of a novel for the upcoming season.
