We are back with the Cornish Cove series with Kim Nash's Making Memories at the Cornish Cove. It was published by Boldwood Books on April 17th.
You can read my review of Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove here and Finding Family at the Cornish Cove here.
It’s never too late…
After five husbands and five broken hearts, Lydia feels like
she’s always been chasing something. But now she’s found her purpose, and
having moved to Driftwood Bay to spend more time with her daughter Meredith,
she’s happier than ever.
But there’s still life in these old bones yet! With her
newfound sense of identity, she’s keen to re-explore the things that made her
happy as a younger person. Lydia’s passion was dancing – she used to compete in
her younger years, and there’s no place she’s more at home than on the
dancefloor.
So when widower and antiques restorer Martin tells her about
a big dance competition, she’s ready and raring to bring more joy into her
life. But while making memories with Martin, the more she realises that both of
their hearts need restoring too...
My Thoughts
Returning to Driftwood Bay was a pleasure and this time, the story focuses on Meredith's mother, Lydia, who has moved to be near her daughter and to rebuild their relationship. It was interesting to this from both sides, Lydia and Meredith and to see that often, Lydia anticipated Meredith's reactions and got it wrong. Meredith is her main motivation, but Lydia also feels that there may be other aspects to her life to explore. She wants to be a nurturer, to have people to care for and look out for.
Friendship and family are so important and there are plenty going on in the community to fill the story with some amusing moments, especially where Vi was concerned. Lydia's growing friendship with Martin allows you to glimpse the younger Lydia as she reconnects with dancing. Lydia is a character with a lot of baggage but she proves to have a kind and caring heart.
In short: a warm, uplifting tale.
