Changing Seasons for the Country Nurse by Kate Eastham #Review

  I am thrilled to review the next in the latest series by  Kate Eastham. Changing Seasons for the Country Nurse was published by Boldwood Books on August 22nd.   In the quiet Lancashire countryside of 1936, city-trained nurse Lara Flynn must contend with far more than muddy lanes and b oisterous farm dogs. Still recovering from a past trauma and an ill-fated love affair, she’s determined to prove herself as a capable district nurse and midwife to a community that doesn’t easily welcome outsiders. As autumn sets in, Lara becomes a trusted presence at Ingleside Surgery - soothing frightened patients, forming a close bond with her spirited colleague Marion and earning the grudging respect of the erratic but brilliant senior doctor. But behind the laughter and team spirit, shadows loom. There’s loss, secrets buried deep in the hearts of her new friends and a face from her past that threatens everything Lara's tried to leave behind. When tragedy strikes a patient - a...

Summer at Sea Glass Cove by Jenny Kane #Review

 

I am delighted to feature the latest novel by Jenny Kane. Summer at Sea Glass Cove was published by Aria on June 6th.


Welcome to Sea Glass Cove!

Marine archaeologist Lauren Sunshine is used to life on the go. Her suitcase is always packed ready to explore the country’s underwater heritage so when a shipwreck is found off the Dorset coast, she is thrilled to be leading the excavation team.

Philippa Silver, ‘Phil’ to the folk of Sea Glass Cove, has devoted her life to the Museum by the Sea. But funding is tight, and despite subletting half of the museum to her best friend Jules's sea glass shop, she fears for the museum’s future.

Phil hopes the wreck discovery could bring more visitors, but there’s a problem – the museum’s too small to house its treasures. Thankfully, new friend Lauren seems as determined as she is to save the museum.

But, when Phil’s brother Ollie catches Lauren’s eye, she begins to wonder if she has more than one reason to be interested in life at Sea Glass Cove….


My Thoughts

When Lauren finds herself working at Sea Glass Cove, she doesn’t expect to make friends as quickly as she does or to become involved in other people’s lives. She has always concentrated on her work, afraid to get diverted from her career path, leading dives. However, all that is about to change. The story of the local museum and its fight to survive soon feels personal. The wreck offshore and the supply of sea glass which gives the cove its name has had a big effect on the lives of many in the village and the search for the missing Tudor chess pieces brings several people together.

    Alongside Lauren’s growing friendship with Ollie is the close relationship between Phil, the Museum’s curator and Jules, her closest  friend. Admitting how they both feels takes time but has been obvious to their friends. The community is centred on the local pub and there you glimpse its community spirit. With an interesting plot woven around the subject of marine archaeology and several romantic attachments to unravel, this provides an interesting read. 

In short: taking a leap of faith and putting down roots
