The Barmouth Affairs
Forsaking all others, ‘til death do us part.
It’s 1974, and two very different men have not been able to uphold their marriage vows. The effect of their unfaithfulness on their wives, Isabella and Babs, is profound.
When an accident draws these two women together, they learn more about their husbands’ infidelities. As their friendship blossoms, they both realise that the pain and hurt caused by their men puts each of their marriages under serious threat.
But in the small Welsh coastal town of Barmouth, everyone knows everyone else’s business. Can Isabella and Babs bring together the colourful local characters as well as the incomers, to find a way to save their relationships? And are these even the right ones to save?
Based on true events, The Barmouth Affairs is a heartwarming, nostalgic and atmospheric story of life, love, and two women’s search for happiness.

December 3, 2025This book is set during 1974 in Wales and follows two couples. Both men are unfaithful to their wives and the story reflects some of the separation issues that occurred back then. Towards the end, there was a Christmas theme so it felt quite fitting to be reading this in December. It’s a light and easy read, it didn’t take me long to read it, just 2 days.
I wish Vanessa good luck in her new writing journey.
