Synopsis

The perfect escapist read, for all fans of Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan. A Year at the Star and Sixpence is Holly Hepburn's four Star and Sixpence novellas collected together as a novel for the first time. 
When sisters Nessie and Sam inherit a little pub in a beautiful country village they jump at the chance to escape their messy lives and start afresh. But when they arrive at the Star and Sixpence, it's not quite what they imagined - it's pretty much derelict, ruined by debts, and it's going to be a huge job to get it up and running again. But they are determined to make the best of this new life and they set about making the pub the heart of the village once again. Their first year at the Star and Sixpence won't be easy, though nothing worth doing ever is.
But when the sisters' past comes back to haunt them, they start to think that the fresh start they needed is very far away indeed…
Curl up with A Year at the Star and Sixpence - the perfect novel to welcome Spring.

Nessie and Sam were both amazing characters dealing with a pub being left to them by their estranged dad. They learn much more about their father through the little Villiage life.

I don't often go for books such as this one, but having heard of the Star and Sixpence novellas a few months ago (and having worked behind the bar in several pubs) this one piqued my interest. I decided to wait for the complete collection in paperback, and I'm so glad I did. I adore the world Holly H......more
