Wonderful book! Loved it. It's a story about finding love later in life after heartbreak, loss, and prior commitments. Once you find love in your middle age, is it possible to sustain it and keep it going?

Will North's writing is beautiful without being overly prosaic. His descriptions made me want to pack a bag for a trip to Wales. He got all the descriptions right from the romance to the sights and sounds of a small town in Wales. His descriptions of the romantic scenes (and they're aren't overly graphic if that kind of thing bothers you) were written so beautifully and with such delicacy that I was surprised a man wrote it.

I'm looking forward to reading more of his work. I normally don't judge a book by its cover, but the cover on this book is so appropriate. This book like the cover is charming, cozy, and very welcoming.
