AFTER HEARTBREAKING TRAGEDY, CAN SHE FACE THE CHALLENGES OF HER NEW LIFE?

Petra is at an all time low when she is unexpectedly left a cottage in the tight-knit village of Mindon by an old friend of her mother' her parents had been killed in a car accident, her boyfriend had decided to go back to his wife, and as a painter she led a solitary life in her North Yorkshire home town.

But she feels immediately at home in the gracious stone house that had been bequeathed to her, and is made welcome by the local residents - in particular, by the members of the Mindon Amateur Dramatic Society (somewhat appropriately known as MADS) presided over by the formidable Ursula. When Ursula decides to put on A Midsummer Night's Dream as the next production, Petra, to her surprise and pleasure, is put in charge of the wardrobe.

Rivalries, squabbles, love affairs and seething resentments threaten to scupper the production, but Petra has more pressing things on her mind...

A mystery from her past begins to haunt her - and the answer to that mystery might solve the puzzle of why she has been left such a beautiful house by a total stranger.

Boring.

[Angela Lewis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A time filler, entertaining enough. Petra has inherited a house from her mother's friend. She knows nothing of the woman but decides to move to Mindon in England where she joins the local dramatics group and meets her partner. Delving into her past whilst searching the attic of her new home she comes across a photograph she knows and then some drawn images that send her in search of her mother's past.

Village life

I quite enjoyed this book, I've always been interested in village life and this book shows us a little of what it is like.

Enjoyable!

Very interesting and lovely story with the backdrop of putting together a small town's production of a Shakespearean play. Romantic too!
