Flora's Day
Not yet published
Expected 5 Mar 26Flo Richards is done with Cornwall and in particular, with her home town, Helston. More importantly she is finished with Flora Day, Helston’s version of a May Day celebration. This was a day that was once better than Christmas and not to be missed for any reason. But that all changed sixteen years ago.
Now she’s built a successful life in LA, and her return to Helston is for one purpose only: to sell the grand house she inherited from her godfather and cut her last tie to the past. But her plan is derailed when she’s forced to lead the town’s traditional Flora Day dance with Ke Dale—her first love. As the festival pulls them back into their old rhythm, a letter from Flora’s late mother unearths a life-altering secret about her own identity.
Now all Flo has to do is survive one last Flora Day. With that done she will be free of the past. But can one day full of old traditions mend her broken heart and change her mind?

I’ve absolutely devoured this new one by Liz Fenwick….. from the sublime cover to the very last word.
Flora Richards has returned to Cornwall to take part in one last Flora Day with her first love Ke Dale & to sell the family home. A letter from the past sets in motion a chain of events she is powerless to control…
A fabulous dual-timeline read where tiny details of Flora’s childhood gradually fill in the gaps until we understand why she really wants her current visit to be her last.
I’ve lived in Cornwall for 30 years and fully understand how the county gets in your blood and how impossibly hard it would be to shake it off. I’ve also lost my parents and although this is a lovely joyful read I really resonated with the grief Flora was feeling for her mother all the way through.
The story flows full circle to a really satisfying conclusion. I was so sorry to close the last page. Liz Fenwick is the consummate story teller & really knows her Cornwall too!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Poignant and intensely atmospheric, Flora’s Day is a joyful celebration of the heart and soul of a town and the power of love, as well as a tender exploration of grief. I felt I was in Helston in Cornwall watching the Hal an Tow alongside Flora reading this gem of a novel and treasured every page I got to spend in the company of the characters. I didn't want it to end!
I know the area in which the book is set a little and feel that reading Flora's Day I have got to know it so much better. Flora is such a wonderful and memorable main character and her struggle between her heart and her head as it played out over the years completely captivated me. I don't tend to re-read many books but I already know I will be re-reading this one.
