Bella discovers her awful husband has cheated again so decides to escape to Jersey to stay with her great aunt Celestine.
Bella soon settles in and makes new friends including the lovely Rory, while helping to run Celestine’s flower stall.
This book was really enjoyable and I loved the setting of beautiful Jersey. I found the historical side of the book really interesting and I loved that there were older characters in the book.
The ending was bittersweet but hopefully there will be a sequel.
Thanks to NetGalley, Tilly Tennant and Bookouture for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Bella catches her husband cheating on her and decides to leave him. At her parents she finds out her great-aunt had fallen and needs help running her flower stall on the island of Jersey. Meeting Rory, who is seeking his family . His father had been adopted, and basically knew a few names but wanted to find more. Meeting and friendship between Rory and Belle grows. Enjoyed this one, and would recommend this book and author.

OMG what a tale! This had it all: summery feel, a hint of mystery, sadness, fresh starts and tragedy. I loved the Focus on Jersey and what happened in the Occupation. Celestine’s story had me gripped, almost more than Bella’s. It was also achingly tragic. I genuinely couldn’t stop reading but felt sad when it ended. I really hope there is another visit to Jersey soon.

Bella is on a journey of starting over. She meets new friends and really gets to know her great aunt. Her journey is bittersweet. Her aunt’s situation and the outcome is very sad. The writing is wonderful. The descriptions of the island were so vibrant, it made me feel as though I was on the island too. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Tilly Tennant at her very best. Wow wow wow. Loved this story set mainly on Jersey . Bella goes to help her aunt after a nasty split from her husband on her flower story . You get secrets from the Second World War and a new love that brings different challenges. A neat ending Loved it .

This was okay! It's a average romance story. The title cover is cute as well. I really like the colors and the artwork on it.

This was a lovely story about moving on set on the gorgeous island of Jersey where nonagenarian Celestine had been unable to open her flower stall due to a broken ankle until her great niece Bella arrived on the island having left her adulterous husband. Bella and Celestine were such fun to read about and then the arrival of Rory gave Bella the chance of a close relationship and allowed Celestine to face up to her past. This offered some thought provoking moments about Jersey during the war years which blended well with modern day commemorations. There’s a lovely feel to this book but the story has some bittersweet moments but overall it’s a heartwarming character read with a lot of soul.
