Synopsis

The tiny, well-ordered seaside village of Merham holds little to interest the adventurous—except for Arcadia, the breathtaking art deco house perched above the shoreline. Attracted to this magical place, young Lottie Swift surrenders freely to its temptations and ultimately must face the hard consequences of her actions.

Years later, another young woman comes to Merham. A designer hired to make over the now-empty Arcadia, Daisy Parsons seeks a new beginning, as Lottie once did. Fleeing a broken relationship, Daisy finds refuge at Arcadia, and something more—a love she thought she would never know again.

3.5⭐️ Tai kiek kitokia nei iki šiol mano skaitytos Moyes knygos. Pradžia buvo kiek sunkoka, mane vargino veikėjų gausa, tačiau kai įsivažiavau nebegalėjau atsitraukti. Patiko puikiai išpildytas Lotės personažas, Deizė ir jos virsmas į liūtę, nors ir ne visada sėkmingai, tačiau nepasiduodančią ir kovo......more

Regular visitors to my blog will probably know that I'm a big fan of Jojo Moyes ever since she came to my awareness with books like Me Before You and The Girl You Left Behind, but recently I have decided to read her back catalogue of work, this book being the first. Foreign Fruit was first published......more
