I thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel set in Chilton
Crosse, a charming village in the Cotswold area of Britain. I was immediately
captured by the author’s description of the English countryside with its quaint
villages and shops. The book cover is beautiful and oh-so English!
Noelle’s aunt is a famous artist whom she hasn’t seen in
over a decade. When “aunt” Joy dies, Noelle inherits her cottage and art
gallery in Chilton Crosse. Upon opening a locked room in the cottage, Noelle
discovers something breathtaking. Add to that a family secret in a hidden
journal and there is just enough mystery in this women’s’ fiction/cozy romance
to keep the reader intrigued.
The novel is very well written and the characters are well-developed,
real. I could “hear” English accents as I turned the pages and “see” the scenery.
Each chapter begins with artistic instructions
for a budding artist’s success that could just as well be gentle, kindly advice
for life.
This book is about art, love, family dynamics and second
chances. This is quality fiction that
causes no flinches over expletives or sexual scenes because there are none. I highly
recommend it!
Note: This book is rated C = clean read.
