'Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming'
Jessica RedlandCottage Two, Bracken Ridge Farm sits at the end of a
pitted track, with the glorious Yorkshire moors stretching behind
it. Just a simple two up, two down, the cottage holds the promise
of a new start for two very different women, but it is also full of
secrets. Fifty years ago, newly-wed Stella is relishing making the
little cottage a happy home. But for all the lovingly handmade
curtains, and the hot dinners ready on the table for her husband,
Stella's dreams of married life jar painfully with the truth. Fifty
years later, the cottage is a new beginning for Tamzin. Determined
to get away from her previous life, she makes the move to the wild
and vast Yorkshire countryside. When Tamzin finds a sepia photo of
a woman, Stella, standing in the cottage's garden, there's a
sadness in her eyes that Tamzin recognises. As the cottage reveals
more of its secrets, Tamzin is desperate to find out whether Stella
got her happy ending. And as she gradually makes new friends, and
starts to win over her mysterious neighbour Euan, Tamzin dares to
dream about her own happy ending too... Escape the rat race with
this heart-warming, page-turning new novel from Jane Lovering.
Perfect for fans of Julie Houston, Beth O'Leary and Kate Forster
Praise for Jane Lovering: 'I adored the dual timeline aspect of
this gorgeous story and discovering the secrets from the past.
Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming'
Jessica Redland 'A funny, warm-hearted read, filled with characters
you'll love.' Matt Dunn on A Country Escape What readers are saying
about Jane Lovering: 'Jane Lovering has that ability to choose
exactly the right words and images to make you laugh, with a
wonderful touch of the ridiculous, then moving seamlessly to a
scene of such poignancy that it catches your breath.' 'It is very
difficult to explain just how wonderful this book is. The power of
her words and her descriptive prowess to put it bluntly is
amazing... the emotional impact it has had on me will be long
lasting.' 'Fall in love with reading all over again with this
cracking tale from Jane Lovering. An excellent reminder, if one is
needed, of the absolute pleasure of losing yourself in a good
book.'
