Book Review:

Special thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for providing me with ARC.
This novel is heartwarming, i loved since page one and can't put it down, i am a mom and know very well what you feel when you raised a child, who is taking all your time , energy and in the end of the day you will feel sham about many things you forget to do.

I loved Lexie character so much, she is adorable and lovely, i loved also her mom cottage because i am a person who adore quite and natural places.

This is the first book to me by Fiona Valpy but will not be the last and i will try more books by her.

Book Description: 

Loch Ewe, 1940. When gamekeeper’s daughter Flora’s remote highland village finds itself the base for the Royal Navy’s Arctic convoys, life in her close-knit community changes forever. In defiance of his disapproving father, the laird’s son falls in love with Flora, and as tensions build in their disrupted home, any chance of their happiness seems doomed.

Decades later, Flora’s daughter, singer Lexie Gordon, is forced to return to the village and to the tiny cottage where she grew up. Having long ago escaped to the bright lights of the West End, London still never truly felt like home. Now back, with a daughter of her own, Lexie learns that her mother—and the hostile-seeming village itself—have long been hiding secrets that make her question everything she thought she knew.

As she pieces together the fragments of her parents’ story, Lexie discovers the courageous, devastating sacrifices made in her name. It’s too late to rekindle her relationship with her mother, but can Lexie find it in her heart to forgive the past, to grieve for all that’s lost, and finally find her place in the world?
