When Gus Albourne inherits a pretty
village property from his Aunt Augusta, he interested to know why he is the
sole beneficiary and as he searches for answers, he finds that unspoken secrets
about his own life start to emerge.
Millie Hope is desperate to find her
missing daughter, Karen, and when a family tragedy disturbs the equilibrium; her
search for Karen becomes even more urgent. In a roundabout sort of way, Gus and
Millie’s lives start to come together and even though they share confidences,
their growing attraction is hampered by the secrets they are both adept at keeping
rather too well hidden.
What then follows is an
interesting and well written look at the vagaries of modern life and of all too
often we become hampered by the secrets of the past. The story drew me in from
the beginning and I found that I had immense sympathy for both Gus and Millie. They
are both likeable protagonists and as their stories starts to unravel, you can’t
help but become emotionally attached to both of them, and hope that things work
out for them.
There is no doubt that the author
has a keen eye for detail. Her writing is confident and assured and will I am
sure, appeal to those who enjoy well written contemporary fiction. It’s a perfect book to curl
up with, preferably on a sunny afternoon in the garden, but equally as enthralling
on cosy evening by the fire.
I really enjoyed Remarkable Things and look forward to more books by this talented author.
