Amelia's parents died when she was young and her great aunt Vera took her in but Amelia realised Vera wasn't overly happy with the situation and often was dismissive so Amelia moved to Paris. Suddenly she gets note that Vera has died and your joining Amelia on her rollercoaster return to Meadowbank
I love Katie's books so like to read everyone of them.
This book is a quick easy romance read which is lighthearted throughout. It does what it says on the tin and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. With great characters and twists and turns galore.
The Secrets of Meadow Farmhouse
by Katie Ginger
A well written book. Yet another delightful feel good and well rounded book by Katie Ginger great characters and following the ups and dog owns with humour and a few laugh out loud moments a very charming story . It’s the heartwarming feel that Katie’s books always leave you with that make her a favourite.4.5/5
I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.
Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.
However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x
I'll admit it's more the mystery of the locket and Vera's past that kept me enthralled in this story, but I have to say I also loved how Amelia came into herself, realised who she really was, and the flame sparking back up with Adam. Also loved the shenanigans of the villagers - they always stopped just before that point when it can get tedious - and that was a spark of mastery by the author. Katie Ginger writes with a flowy charm not at all unlike the delightful countryside she describes throughout, and her words were a joy to behold many a time. Wasn't sure from the Paris parts whether this one was going to be a go or not, but power through if that's the case for you - the read is well worth it once in the village
Ah, nice romance to settle down my reading habits to normal. I've read a few of this authors and will look forward to her next.
This was a delightful story of the ups and downs of life with a love story wending its way through. The characters seemed so real and the community, one that anyone would love to live in. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

I loved this book. Such fabulous escapism. Believable characters you can really invest in and a landscape so well described you feel like you've been there for years.
Highly recommended.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this copy in exchange for an honest review.
What a wonderfully, wistful story.
The characters felt like friends I had known for years, the place felt like it was my home town and I became completely immersed into the book. Katie Ginger has a great way of story telling and she never disappoints.
Loved every page
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers and the author Katie Ginger for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion
A lovely take of Amelia who lives in Paris, returning to her childhood home and all the unresolved issues from her past. Her relationship with her aunt was never great, and now she was dead, Amelia wants to find out what happened in her past to make her so cold. Her own past love,Adam, still lives there and she works out that old feelings haven't died at all. At the end of the day she must decide whether to return to Paris or stay to mend the past. Lovely book, great characters, very enjoyable
Lovely, well written book. Loved the characters and enjoyed the descriptions of the setting. Would recommend this book
This was a really good read. Easy story to follow, charming setting and great characters. Really enjoyed it.
Amelia loves her life in Paris. But with the surprise inheritance of her childhood home, she has no choice but to return to the small village of Meadowbank to restore her great-aunt’s old farmhouse.
However returning to Meadowbank means she has to confront her past, including old flame Adam – the one person she regrets leaving behind.
When Amelia discovers a locket hidden in the farmhouse, containing the picture of a mysterious World War Two soldier, she starts to uncover the secrets of her great-aunt’s past. With Adam on hand to help restore the farmhouse, she’s shocked by his generosity after so many years apart.
As her feelings for her first love reignite, Amelia is suddenly confused as to where she truly belongs.
Can Amelia finally find where her heart truly calls home?
Well, i devoured this book! I loved it!! I loved the fact that the characters had to reflect on their parts, i loved the community spirit v the anonymity of Paris. I loved that she questioned her friendships and whether they were symbiotic (turns out not so much!) Throw that all together with an Aunt who kept a painful secret for too many years and a Helicopter mum and a blissful couple of hours awaits you as you step into Amelias world. x
Amelia enjoys her life in Paris or so she thinks until she returns to England after her Aunt's death. This book was easy to read and moved quickly along making me want to keep reading a little bit more.
A good underlying sense of mystery and evolving romance. An enjoyable book.
To say that reading this book became addictive is a huge understatement. I would stupidly pick the book up only intending to read a couple of chapters to fill in the odd half hour but I would become so wrapped up in the story that I would still be sat there well over an hour and several chapters later. My book wasn’t exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I just couldn’t bear to miss a single second of the story. It didn’t take me long to get to race through the book.
Warm hearted romantic tale. Interesting characters and some twists to work out but an enjoyable read.
I am so in love with this book!!! I’ve heard so many amazing things about this author and she did not disappoint!!! I was hooked from the start and I couldn’t put it down! Absolutely gorgeous
