![]() ![]() But is that child Annie? The mother insists it is not. Sure, her shoe is found on the foot of a dead child. We first have Annie, the little girl who has disappeared. As in her other book, The Dry, Nolen carries the story along at a steady pace. This story is not as simple as it may first appear. The colloquialisms, and, of course, the plots within plots, held me there. Nolen’s eloquent writing and jam-packed descriptions of the old English villages, of Cornwall, Devon, and Wales drew me right in. I would have to say it’s the best I have read for some time. Truly a love story, and a really cosy read as well.Ī most compelling read. So authenticity shines through the pages. ![]() The relationships between Alison, Peter, Claire and their family and friends read as genuine. And the cameo shot of running a B&B in South Africa made me feel at home. There was so much in the way the characters spoke and acted that reminded me of my younger life. I thought I knew where it was heading, but then I didn’t. This story is a gentle romance with building intrigue. There’s no need for gore and ribald descriptions for a true romance to work. I am hooked on Lesley’s delicate writing style. ![]()
