Description
Heart’s Ease is the loveliest house anyone knows and home to the fortunate Blyth family. Siblings Felicity, Charity, Honor and Bruno enjoy a blissfully happy childhood there before life pulls them in very different directions.
Beautiful Felicity gains her handsome husband, delightful children and elegant London house, but all is far from perfect ... Charity, the clever one, lives for her work, with no time for emotional involvement, until the least romantic of meetings rocks her world… Sweet, homely Honor is devoted entirely to others, but dreams of a life of her own ... And Bruno, the indulged baby of the family, flies the nest only to find that independence may be tough ...
The sanctuary of a beloved childhood home can’t last forever. But the legacy of Heart’s Ease lives on in the Blyth family’s grown-up fulfilment and happiness.

Thank you NetGalley and Severn House for the eARC.
Heart's Ease is the beautiful home that is beloved by the family who own it. The siblings, Felicity, Charity, Honor and Bruno grew up happy and secure under the benign love of their parents.
When they have grown, we see how their lives turn out. They're all quite different, but each one of them are appealing characters who lead interesting lives. At first I didn't like Felicity much, but she changed for the better.
This book is quietly wonderful, I loved it as much as I loved the author's Love in a Mist (another 5-star must read). Do yourselves a favor and read this heartwarming book! It was a welcome change from the mysteries I'd been reading, because it really makes you feel good and restores your faith in humanity. Highly recommended!

I can’t praise this book highly enough. Its characterisation is outstanding and the imagery superb. It’s intelligently written and perceptive, which is this author’s signature. What a delightful family in a much-coveted home. The children are growing up and determining their various futures. The only thing I found a little disconcerting was the over-use of pronouns instead of names, which forced me to backtrack to figure out who was doing and speaking in the middle part mainly. The style of writing appeared to change at that point. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this condensed family saga, but the ending was abrupt with a few loose ends. Does that mean there will be a sequel? Thank you to NetGalley and Severn House.

Heart’s Ease is a very well written novel. A great plot with great characters and imagery. I throughly enjoyed this book. My thanks to the publisher for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

This was about a family and their house. Set between 1977 and the present time with a hint of history about earlier times and families who previously lived in the house.
Marguerite and her husband Hugh and their children live in a happy house called Heart’s Ease by the seaside near Salting Bay in the UK.
Their children grow up happy in their home surrounded by love. It is about families, family life, relationships and a house called Heart’s Ease. I loved the way the family members interact with each other and new relationships.
