Books, life, inspiration…. and my PMDD

My Review for my Blogstop on the #Booksontour with #Bookouture for Emma Davies New Release – The Twilight Garden

My Review:

I  really enjoyed getting to know Gemma as she turns her life around after the loss of her mother.

Rejected from her old job she ends up taking a step back from the rat race and offering support on a farm that turns out to be so much more.

Ex teachers Willow and Rowan have a dream to enjoy life and be part of a more environmentally friendly life.

With patchy internet and phone reception she ends up in the local cafe and befriends the shy Ashley, a stay at home wife.

She also comes face to face with Leo, a face from the past.

Initially, Gemma is quite annoying and judgemental, eventually as she let’s go of her past and learns to step into tbe present she becomes an enjoyable character. After her injury she is rendered off duty, in this time she starts to find out more about the history of the Farm and its land.

There is also a giant dog who loves a cuddle, cake, chickens, fresh eggs, hares and a level of community spirit.

Whilst breaking down her walls, she learns not all can be trusted and some deserve 2nd chances.

A beautiful 5 Star Read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emma once worked for a design studio where she was asked to provide a fun, humorous, and not necessarily true anecdote about herself for their website. She wrote the following: ‘I am a bestselling novelist currently masquerading as a thirty something mother of three.’ Well the job didn’t work out but she’s now a forty something mother of three and happy to report the rest of her dream came true.

She now lives in rural Shropshire where she writes full time from a shed in the garden.

The Twilight Garden

Emma Davies

A secret garden. A moonlit reunion. And a chance to start again…?

Perched on a hilltop in the Cornish countryside, with the sea sparkling in the distance, lies a garden, once forgotten but recently rediscovered. As the sun sets over its gently crumbling walls every evening, two figures appear and quietly tend the soil at dusk. This is a place that heals the soul.

Gemma is here to find the version of herself she lost long ago. What she hasn’t expected to find is someone who understands her heartbreak all too well.

Leo is also trying to rebuild his life. He knows how to fix things around him with nails and a hammer. But if he tries to mend Gemma’s heart as he mends the garden, could he heal himself too?

Working side by side to uncover long-forgotten flowers in the garden, Gemma wonders if she’s planting the seeds for a whole new future for herself too.

But then one evening, it’s clear somebody else has been to the garden. Someone intending to destroy what they’re creating. Someone who needs to be stopped….

Can Gemma and Leo save the tumbledown, magical place that has saved them? Or will they lose the twilight garden forever?

An absolutely unputdownable story about lost love, second chances, and the importance finding your true self. Fans of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, Sally Page and Amanda Prowse will adore this stunning, heartbreaking and yet uplifting novel of finding hope in the most unexpected of places.
