Women's Fiction
Date Published: 09-10-2024
Publisher: Aria Fiction
Bestselling Irish writer, Faith Hogan, has created another gripping saga of
friendship, betrayal and secrets in this story of a widow in search of
answers to a shocking confession by her dying husband.
Joy Blackwood has no idea why her French art dealer husband has left a valuable painting to a woman called Robyn Tessier in Ballycove, a small town on the west coast of Ireland, but she is determined to find out.
She arrives in Ballycove to find that Robyn runs a rather chaotic and unprofitable bookshop. She is shy, suffering from unrequited love for dashing Kian, and badly in need of advice on how to make the bookshop successful.
As Joy becomes entangled in the daily dramas of Ballycove, uncovering the secrets behind her husband's painting grows increasingly challenging. When she finally musters the courage to confront the truth, her revelation sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community she's grown to love.
My Review
This was not the storyline I expected, but it was most
certainly an enjoyable one.
A very sweet, entangled, even poignant story of women
(ladies) with ties to one another. Ties none of them knew of initially.
When I saw the cover and title of this, I thought “oh boy,
a cozy”. This is women’s fiction, a genre I’m not always crazy about. But this
is a story of special moments and yet everyday lives. One of good things and
bad things, hurts and joys. Nothing sickly sweet here. Just a real-life unusual
coincidence.
Well written and I am so glad I came across it. Five stars
for me!
