I received this book from NetGalley to review for an honest opinion.

A story about a family moving from the city to live on an island where Nan (the mom) had vacationed as a child. The story shows family struggles and how they worked through those struggles however pleasant or unpleasant that may be.

I enjoyed the island life. A slower paced life for the family. However, the family characters could have been better built. Nan is a mother and wife. She appears to be confused about being weak/a pushover and a very strong woman.

Overall this was a good story and an easy read!

This wasn't what I expected, which was a breezy, light romantic story. This was emotional, realistic, with well-drawn characters. I quite enjoyed the journey. I also really enjoyed the use of joint Welsh/English phrases throughout the book. The imagery was well-written, and the sense of place was hugely important to the story.

I would read more from the author.

I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
