A Summer to Remember in Herring Bay - Angella Britnell

 

A Summer to Remember in Herring Bay

Essy Havers is good at finding things. Her company specialises in helping clients track down anything, from missing china pieces to rare vintage clothing. But now Essy has something more important to find: herself.
Essy has always been curious about her mother’s secret past and her Cornish roots. So, when the opportunity arises, she hops on a plane in Tennessee and ends up in Herring Bay in Cornwall; the village where her mother grew up.
But once there, she’s mystified by the reactions of the villagers when they realise who she is. Was Essy’s decision to visit Cornwall a mistake, or will it lead to a summer she’ll never forget?

My Review:  

A fabulous tale compromising of family secrets, old wounds and larger than life characters. A romance with extra drama and intrigue added, what more do we need? Oh did I mention its set in a small seaside community! Great book for a little bit of escapism!

Colourful character Essy has wanted to know more about her Mums background, she never lets on much about her life in Herring Bay and the reason she left for Tennessee. Grabbing the chance to visit she stays with her Aunt. She soon discovers that her mum is very much remembered by the locals, and she isn’t thought of fondly at all. Essy is determined to find out more.

With some help from an unlikely source, Ruan, they work together to uncover the truth. An opportunity to right old wrongs, mend a community and heal those wounds, this story is heart warming and sentimental.

It was fun to discover secrets from the past, surprised are plentiful and it kept me reading eager to know more. Sometimes our initial ideas and thoughts don’t turn out to be what’s real and I think the same of this book. It isn’t what I originally expected when I started to read but I loved it all the more.

Relatable fun characters, and a community I would like to see again. Highly recommended!
