Description
'Maeve Binchy fans will adore it - she just gets better and better' Patricia Scanlan
'Such a glorious read!! It's magical and transporting and I adore it' Claudia Carroll
It's summer in Finfarran on the west coast of Ireland. Librarian Hanna Casey is looking forward to al fresco lunches with friends, and balmy evenings with her boyfriend Brian in their stunning new home in the beautiful Hag's Glen.
With family drama and a painful divorce behind her, Hanna is browsing romantic holiday brochures and making plans with Brian for the future. Then, unexpectedly, Brian's adult son moves in with them, and Hanna re-encounters Amy, one of three girls with whom she shared a London flat in her twenties. And all of a sudden, Hanna begins to question her apparently perfect life.
When Amy suggests a visit to London's bright lights and a flatmates' reunion, Hanna accepts. But, while it might be a short hop to England, somehow she feels like she's leaving Brian too far behind.
And when Hanna is given a new opportunity, the chance to be more than a local librarian who's settled back into the little rural community where she grew up, she realises she has tough choices to face...

This book is set in the fictional town of Finfarran, West Ireland. The Author has a wonderful skill of bringing the fictional town to life, and making it sound like a beautiful real place that you can totally visualise. This is one of several books that are set in Finfarran, and It feels like I know the town and its residents very well. This can be read as a standalone novel though.
In this book Hanna, the Librarian bumps into an old flatmate from London. She feels unsettled, and a visit to London makes her question her life in Finfarran, and she has to make a huge decision.
Felicity Hayes-McCoy writes gentle and highly readable stories. You get drawn in, and want to keep on reading. This is the perfect escapism read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my early preview copy of this book. I am looking forward to reading more books by this Author.

A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me with an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This is not my usual genre, I’m more into crime/thriller books and even psychological thrillers too so I am extremely pleased and grateful to them for opening up my mind to something totally different.
Rachel A, Reviewer
What a lovely, gentle, pleasant book. I love reading about Finfarran and the characters that live there. It pure escapism!
Ireland is such a beautiful country and this comes across throughout the pages of the book.
My favourite characters are Fury and his dog The Divil.
