Morning Readers & Happy Saturday!
I am finally ‘catching up’, on books, work, home and school! It was a bit of a challenge these past two weeks but I am finally getting there. I am still so blown away by the amount of time and work it takes to raise two kids (compared to my daughter who was a single child and incredibly easy), so any of you with friends or sisters/brothers who have kids…. take those play dates, even if it’s for 2 hours and give them enough time for a bath and a glass of wine!
Mornings at 5am seemed to be the magic hour, so I did manage to sneak in some time here and there to dig into Broken Country by Clare Hall.
Beth Johnson’s seemingly steady life on the family sheep farm in Dorset begins to unravel when her first love, Gabriel Wolfe, returns with his young son after years away. Married to Frank and still mourning the death of her young son, Beth finds old longings resurfacing and is forced to confront who she was, who she is, and with a recent murder, how the choices made in youth still echo in the present.
It took me a while to warm up to this book as I’m not a huge fan of unapologetic cheating, which lead to some distance between me and the main character at the start. However, I am glad I stuck with this one as the ending was entirely worth it. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, there’s a twist, and then another twist, and then another twist! I’m not a huge horror fan, so this was the perfect amount of mystery and suspense for me.
I think this was a perfect example of sticking with a book, past its initial impression, and really enjoying it in the end.
Happy Reading!
