Zoe is a single mother, sinking beneath the waves trying to cope by herself in London. Hari, her gorgeous little boy is perfect in every way - except for the fact that he just doesn't speak, at all. When her landlord raises the rent on her flat, Zoe doesn't know where to turn.
Then Hari's aunt suggests Zoe could move to Scotland to help run a bookshop. Going from the lonely city to a small village in the Highlands could be the change Zoe and Hari desperately need.
Faced with an unwelcoming boss, a moody, distant bookseller named Ramsay Urquart, and a band of unruly children, Zoe wonders if she's made the right decision. But Hari has found his very first real friend, and no one could resist the beauty of the loch glinting in the summer sun. If only Ramsay would just be a little more approachable...
Dreams start here . . .

Mandy B, Reviewer
I love Jenny’s books, she’s one of my favourite authors. Her stories reel me in from the first few pages and I often have to force myself to put the book down so that I can sleep.
Zoe is struggling as a single mum in London, and feels that her beautiful boy, Hari, should be brought up somewhere better. He has selective mutism and this worries Zoe greatly. When her landlord increases her rent, she becomes desperate, and a friend suggests that she moves to Scotland to run a mobile bookshop while the owner, Nina, is on maternity leave. There’s also a second job as an au pair to a single dad with three almost-feral children who live in a big mansion.
Is this really a better situation than the one Zoe and Hari were in down in London? Importantly, Hari makes his first ever friend, so Zoe must take this into consideration when she decides whether to stay or go.
I loved seeing mention of Wallace, Francis, and Delphine, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Hari and Patrick.
A lovely, heartwarming read to relax on a sun-lounger with!
Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown for an advance reader copy in return for an honest review.
