Saving Saffron Sweeting (2013)
Life is what happens to you when you are busy planning other things! Grace Palmer learns this the hard way when she finds out that while she was too busy floundering in her designing business in America, her husband was cheating on her with her best client. Unable to face the failure in both her business as well as her marriage, Grace runs back to her home on the other side of the Atlantic. Between hiding from her husband and picking up the pieces of her life, Grace decides to settle down in the quaint English village of Saffron Sweeting for a while. However, Saffron Sweeting is going through a transition which puts the tranquility of the village in danger. In spite of her initial reluctance, Grace somehow finds herself getting more involved with the locals and ends up helping them to revive their businesses. But will she be able to save her own self and her failing marriage while she is in the midst of saving Saffron Sweeting? From the outset, this is a light, fluffy read that will keep the readers hooked with Grace's journey as she struggles through the road less travelled and yet carves out a path for herself. The author has a knack for sketching beautiful and vivid descriptions that literally transported me to the English village. The writing is refreshing and crisp, making it a warm and enjoyable read. There is a wonderful assortment of characters that just add to the charm of this read. (PD)
