I am delighted to be taking part in the Publication Day celebrations for Katie Ginger's The Secrets of Meadow Farmhouse.
Escape to the countryside with a heart-warming new novel
from Katie Ginger, author of Snowflakes at Mistletoe Cottage.
Amelia loves her life in Paris. But with the surprise
inheritance of her childhood home, Meadow Farmhouse, she has no choice but to
return to the small village of Meadowbank to restore her great-aunt’s old
farmhouse. However returning to Meadowbank means she has to confront her past,
including old flame Adam.
When Amelia discovers a locket hidden in the farmhouse,
containing the picture of a mysterious World War Two soldier, she starts to
uncover the secrets of her great-aunt’s past and is drawn further into village
life. Shocked by the warm welcome from the villagers and her own surprising
feelings for first love Adam, Amelia is suddenly confused as to where she truly
belongs.
Can Amelia finally confront her own past and find where her
heart truly calls home?
Fans of Rachael Lucas, Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan will
fall in love with Katie Ginger!
My Thoughts
I always know with a Katie Ginger book that I am going to have a warm, enjoyable read and it was true for this one as well. The setting is gorgeous. A rather broken- down farmhouse situated in the midst of the countryside and near a caring community. Of course, Amelia didn't realise quite what a gem the community was, at first. She has run to Paris after University and turned her back on her great aunt and her friends. At first, her harsh memories blind her to certain truths. However, the more she finds out about the past, the more she begins to understand why her aunt seemed so distant at times.
Adam is a great central male figure and one you take to from the start. Of course, he has a lot of unresolved anger towards Amelia to sort out. Family and friendship are both featured throughout the story as Amelia starts to contrast her friends in Paris with the people she meets back in the village. This is a heart-warming read which welcomes you in.
In short: You can't escape your past
