Review
Drew and Isla appear to be the picture perfect family, happily married with two young children living on an idyllic farm. Behind closed doors Isla lonely and struggling as Drew works all hours. Then Isla discovers Drew has been keeping secrets and they could loss their home... will this tear them apart?
This novel is a delightful feel-good-read. The characters are charming but not without their faults, after all they are only human. I particularly loved Martha, so eccentric and full of life. The plot is a touching story about the reality of happy ever after, the unconditional love, trust and honesty needed to have a successful marriage. It addresses some sensitive topics such as depression and highlights the importance of talking about concerns before they become overwhelming. The way the community comes together to support this couple gives it the perfect feel good factor. Although Foxglove Farm is the second in a series it can be read as a standalone.
