A Cottage Full of Secrets by Jane LoveringMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Tamzin leaves Cornwall for the Yorkshire Moors, fleeing an abusive relationship with Dominic. She buys a small cottage, uninspiring called Cottage Two, Bracken Ridge Farm and determines to make it her own, not realising the parallels between her life and that of a former occupant, Stella, who moved into the cottage as a newly-wed in the early 1970s.
Cottage One is occupied by a morose single man who seems to spend a lot of time dressed like a tramp and staring, Tamzin can't decide if he's creepy or a bit simple. Little does she know that she has more in common with her new neighbour than she thinks.
Told partially in flashbacks to Stella and partly in the present day, this novel is pure Jane Lovering, cute, quirky and yet with a serious undercurrent. Loved it.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
