Description
'Perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Uplifting and full of heart, and I couldn't put it down!' JO THOMAS
Meet Ellie. She’s perfectly happy living her quiet life with her husband, Clive. Happy to wander the Exmoor countryside and write the occasional poem that nobody will read; happy to dream of all the things she hasn't yet managed to do. Or is she?
Meet Dan. He thinks all he needs is the time and space to make harps in his isolated barn on Exmoor. He enjoys being on his own, far away from other people and – crucially – far away from any risk of surprises.
What Ellie and Dan don’t know yet, is that a chance encounter is about to change all of this.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this book.
This novel is a work of art. The amount of time and research that went into crafting this would have been substantial. It's easy and addictive to read, and you have to find out what happens next despite the innocuous beginning. One character gives another character a harp, and it all snowballs from there.
It's a story of love, music, life, and how we choose to live it. It's beautiful in its simplicity.
Will be looking out for more works by this author.
