OMG what a tale! This had it all: summery feel, a hint of mystery, sadness, fresh starts and tragedy. I loved the Focus on Jersey and what happened in the Occupation. Celestine’s story had me gripped, almost more than Bella’s. It was also achingly tragic. I genuinely couldn’t stop reading but felt sad when it ended. I really hope there is another visit to Jersey soon.

Bella is on a journey of starting over. She meets new friends and really gets to know her great aunt. Her journey is bittersweet. Her aunt’s situation and the outcome is very sad. The writing is wonderful. The descriptions of the island were so vibrant, it made me feel as though I was on the island too. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Tilly Tennant at her very best. Wow wow wow. Loved this story set mainly on Jersey . Bella goes to help her aunt after a nasty split from her husband on her flower story . You get secrets from the Second World War and a new love that brings different challenges. A neat ending Loved it .

This was okay! It's a average romance story. The title cover is cute as well. I really like the colors and the artwork on it.

This was a lovely story about moving on set on the gorgeous island of Jersey where nonagenarian Celestine had been unable to open her flower stall due to a broken ankle until her great niece Bella arrived on the island having left her adulterous husband. Bella and Celestine were such fun to read about and then the arrival of Rory gave Bella the chance of a close relationship and allowed Celestine to face up to her past. This offered some thought provoking moments about Jersey during the war years which blended well with modern day commemorations. There’s a lovely feel to this book but the story has some bittersweet moments but overall it’s a heartwarming character read with a lot of soul.
