HENRY AND VIOLET FELL IN LOVE IN THE ORANGE HOUSE. AND SO WILL YOU.

Henry and Violet first met in the garden of The Orange House on the beautiful island of Mallorca.

They promised their lives to each other, poured their love into restoring the house and built the foundations of their marriage within its walls. First it was their private idyll, then a place to escape with their son, Luke - but now it has become a battleground.

As the years have passed, cracks have appeared and secrets have built barriers between them.

Finally, on the brink of divorce, they have come back to Mallorca to sell up. Will this final summer together be the end - or a new beginning?

Twenty years ago, The Orange House brought them together.
Now, will it be reason they part?

It is always pleasure to sit down with a new Isabelle Broom novel, and to discover where she will transport her readers this time. 

Well its Pollensa in Mallorca, an island I know fairly well, but I know the port area of Pollensa better. 

Even so I was totally transported to the island, and to The Orange House. 

Henry and Violet are separated and need to decide what to do with the house, whether to sell or not. 

We get flashbacks to key points of the previous 20 summers spent on the islands. From their first meeting, to Luke's birth and we inklings into what may have gone wrong between the pair. 

But it was Luke that fascinated me the most and the character that I found myself reading and wanting to know more about. 

Over the course of a summer, we see big changes for this family and I was totally there for all of them. 

Really enjoyable, this is a fabulous summer read. 

Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley for this copy which I have review honestly and voluntarily.
