Edie Browne's Cottage by the Sea by Jane Linfoot #Review

 Today I have a lovely book to share with you. We are going back to Cornwall for Jane Linfoot's Edie Browne's Cottage by the Sea.

 

Those who don’t jump will never fly…

Hurtling through the sky was supposed to be Edie Browne’s flight of independence. But when she falls head over champagne bucket while celebrating her successful landing, her life is changed in an instant.

But starting over has its benefits, and as Edie relearns the basics under the watchful eye of her Aunty Josie and an entire Cornish village of new friends and neighbours, she finds love and joy she never could have imagined in the unlikeliest of places…

Come home to St Aidan and Periwinkle Cottage for a romance full of love, laughter and friends for life!

My Thoughts

What a breath of fresh air this book felt like. It was as if Summer had arrived and all the sights and sounds of Cornwall came flooding back. It was great to meet up with some of the characters from The Little Cornish Kitchen but Edie herself turned out to be a great central character. Struggling to put her health concerns to one side and to regain her old skills, you really get to see her test herself and push herself way out of her comfort zone. 

    All the secondary charcters add so much to the story. There is a real feeling of community which seems so inviting. It really is one of those romcoms which gathers you up and gives you a virtual hug. Heartwarming and full of heart- this is one to read with a smile on your face.

In short: Cornwall has never seemed so charming.

   

About the Author

Jane Linfoot is a best selling author, who lives in a muddy cottage, up a steep hill in Derbyshire, with her family, their pets, and an astonishing number of spiders. Although she loves seeing cow noses over the garden wall, she’s happy she can walk to a supermarket. 

Jane grew up in North Yorkshire where she spent a lot of her childhood avoiding horizontal gales blowing off the sea, and wrote her first book by accident, while working as an architect, and renovating country houses. While she loves to write feelgood books that let readers escape, she’s always surprised to hear her stories make people laugh, admits to (occasionally) crying as she writes, and credits her characters for creating their own story lines.

Jane’s garden would be less brambly if she wasn’t on Facebook and Twitter so often. On days when she wants to be really scared, she rides a tandem.

Her latest books include a series of stand alone novels, based around a seaside wedding shop in Cornwall. Cupcakes and Confetti – The Little Wedding Shop by the Sea, Sequins and Snowflakes – Christmas at the Little Wedding Shop, and Bunting and Bouquets – Summer at the Little Wedding Shop, and most recently, The Little Cornish Kitchen. These are all published by Harper Impulse,  an imprint of Harper Collins.
