Treat yourself to a glorious novel full of food, sunshine, friendship and love!

Things haven’t always been straightforward in Poppy’s life but her dreams are finally within her reach.

She's moving into a cottage in beautiful Nightingale Square, close to the local community garden, where she can indulge her passion for making preserves and pickles. She may not have the best relationship with her family but she is surrounded by loving friends, and feels sure that even her grumpy new neighbour, Jacob, has more to him than his steely exterior belies.

But the unexpected arrival of Poppy's troubled younger brother soon threatens her new-found happiness and as the garden team works together to win community space of the year, Poppy must decide where her priorities lie and what she is prepared to fight for …

Such a sheer joy to be back among the residents of Nightingale square. Some fabulous familiar faces but a whole new story.

Poppy after a false start that allowed us a glimpse into her family life,  us finally able to move into her dream home in Nightingale square. 

She wasn't counting on her next door neighbour to be incredibly grumpy and rude,  not that before long that she would have her estranged brother living with her. 

I loved seeing how both these men in her life developed as the story went on,  and also reading every last detail of life in the square.

Heidi Swain has such a familiar and comfortable writing style, that you can't help but be sucked into the pages of this fabulous story. 

I loved the sense of community in this book as everyone rallies around each other.  There is also an adorable dog,  a fantastic sounding bookshop,  new relationships, some secrets, and a whole lot of preserves and chutneys.

I couldn't help but fly through the pages,  while enjoying every last moment.  I just couldn't get enough of it all. 

Another immensely enjoyable story from the talented Heidi Swain.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
