### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Loved It
  

*by Z***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2023*

There's something so warm and reassuring about a new book by Hilary Boyd, like a mug of hot chocolate after a 6am swim in the chilly Cornish sea.Boyd is fantastic at portraying the subtle microaggressions of an abusive relationship, and I already guessed from reading all her other books that Isobel would have a passionate fling with the delicious but much younger JJ, and that it would end and she'd find a partner who was more age appropriate. Her dodgy ex reappearing and being rejected was also typical of a Boyd novel.Loved all the details of the food and the clothing, plus the clean up operation at the cottage - although I wanted them to dispose of the towering piles of newspapers much sooner than they did.Bel really did have a heart of gold allowing the hoarder Lennie to stay in her cottage rent free for 30 years. Any accommodation five minutes from the beach is worth millions in Cornwall, regardless of its size and condition, and she didn't even sell it to save the restaurant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Abrupt ending
  

*by K***X on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2023*

Overall a cosy read with good attention to detail.  I had little respect for Bel, the main character.One day she was strong and determined to resist her controlling father, the next day falling backinto weak victim mode.  The ending was too abrupt with loose ends as if the author was in a hurryto finish - there was more that could have been told.  An OK book but not her best.

    Escape to Cornwall
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2023*

This story is set in the new post-pandemic world. The effects of which it has on some of the characters will strike a chord with many people.In her late 50's and feeling trapped by her ageing dad after her long-term partner left for a younger woman, Bel is longing for an escape route. A phone call from Cornwall with some surprising news gives her the impetus she needs to put her plan in motion. But having the guts to tell her father proves harder than she expected.
