Title: A Postcard From Puffin IslandAuthor: Christie BarlowFormat reviewed: EbookSource: NetgalleyPublisher: One More ChapterPublication Date: 30th September 2024Rating: 5 Stars
Verity Callaway is running away.
From her job.
From her quiet life in the Midlands.
And most of all from her ex-fiancée…who has just become her newest neighbour.
The plan is simple: hop in her reliable camper van and cross the Channel, headed for a rendezvous with her best friend in Amsterdam to kick off six months of travel. But when Verity stumbles across a decades-old postcard while preparing her cottage for its temporary tenants, her life takes an unexpected turn, and she finds herself on a ferry to Puffin Island instead.
Verity’s childhood was filled with tales of adventures set on the picturesque island, but she’d always thought her beloved granny had made it all up. Now, knowing the stories and the setting were real, Verity is determined to find the postcard’s sender and uncover the secrets of her grandmother’s past…even if it means setting off a sequence of events that will change not just her own life, but also that of the sleepy island’s close-knit community…
Wow what a start to a new series, and what a stunning new setting too.
I adore Puffin Island and can't wait to read even more books set on it. It's an idyllic tidal island, that is home to a rather large puffin population.
And when Verity who is on the verge of a big adventure discovers an old undelivered post card from Puffin Island and realises the place in her gran's stories is real, she makes some decisions that change the course of her life totally.
I adored getting to know a whole village of new characters, and to discover just why there seems to be tension between Sam and Pete. Also various other long almost forgotten secrets started to come out too.
This is a warm-hearted hug of a book that I instantly felt at home with. Just brilliant.
Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
