I love Catherine Alliott and have read all her books, they seriously are laugh out loud and this didn't disappoint. Her writing is witty and well observed and as usual I enjoyed - would happily recommend. Thank you.

A Cornish Summer is the story of artist Flora who, after many years being divorced, is still in love with her ex-husband Hugo. Flora is invited to Cornwall to paint a portrait of her ex father-in-law and over the course of the summer begins to realise that Hugo is not who she thought he was. As Flora has her eyes opened to the shortcomings of her ex-husband, she is finally able to move on with her life.

A enjoyable book which has a good cast of characters. This was an easy and entertaining read.

This is a rather uneven story of Flora, artist and ex wife, and what happens during one summer when she is invited revisit her ex in laws family estate to paint her ex father in law's portrait. There is a delightful story at the heart of this book, and the main characters are well drawn. However, I felt that some of the 'supporting cast' were one dimensional stereotypes and some of the descriptions,of the hunt for example, were overlong in relation to the their importance to the plot.

An enjoyable read, loved the Cornish setting. Catherine Alliott always comes up with something good in the rom com category ... amusing at times , lovely characters and a joy to read.
