A girl with no home, a house in need of love... A beautiful romance set in the breathtaking Welsh mountains
Lark has been wandering the country for many years, with no real place to call home. Until she meets Matthew Williams, a Canadian who has inherited a run-down hill farm in North Wales. Young and enthusiastic, Matthew has no knowledge of farming and no experience of living in the countryside.
Entranced by the beauty and wildness of the place, Lark agrees to help, and together they throw themselves into getting the farm back onto its feet.
Until a terrible accident brings Matthew’s father over from Canada, and suddenly none of their lives will be the same.
I really loved this book. Loved the descriptions of the countryside and it reminded me of me in parts and how I feel when I go up the fields at our place - it's almost spiritual. Reading about Lark taking to the farming is like me taking to living here - I am not from a farming background, yet live on one now and LOVE it. I loved all the character development and romance. Liked the way you can misjudge people and learn about them along with the characters. (Afraid to spoil there if it sounds cryptic) I will be reading more by this author soon
I liked this book enough to keep reading it though I wouldn't say its my favourite. Its twists and turns were unexpected which was nice but I found some of the characters quite depressing and a bit dull to be honest. I thought some of the bad language in it was a bit unnecessary and didn't add anything to the plot. Having said all that I enjoyed the descriptions of Wales and it made me want to go back and explore that area a bit more
This started off slow for me, but once I got into it, I really liked it. Lark’s complexity interested me, and her relationship with John felt real and rather beautiful. However, probably me but I didn’t get the ending? Did I miss something? Did she come back? Who was Erin?

Fell in love with this book I lived every moment with the characters loving,living,laughing and crying could not put it down the description of North Wales was so very accurate.
