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.
