The Hidden Cottage is a heart-warming, romantic story full of engaging characters, an emotional rollercoaster.
I raced to the end of this.
Like Maeve Binchy, the characters are identifiable, yet somehow never predictable and always with an element of sympathy ... This novel, telling the story of a perfect family and its imperfect realities, is splendid and just right for an end-of-summer read.
The magic of Lake Como is firmly at the centre of this heart-warming story
A tale of lost love, fate and second chances
This charming story has just the right mix of love, sunshine and fun
A big hug of a novel that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy
