Keeler? One of the brothers, you mean? Which one’s Sammy – the scruffy one with red hair? Always playing that damn guitar of his?’

The last thing Lou wants is to move to a tiny Cotswolds village. She certainly doesn’t intend to work for curmudgeonly eighty-year-old Edgar Allsopp. But Edgar is about to make her the kind of promise nobody could ignore. In return, she secretly vows to help him fall in love with life again.

All you have to do is say yes . . . The heart-warming, funny and unputdownable new novel from the bestselling Jill Mansell This was a lovely heart-warming story that sang with all the delights of a typical cozy Hallmark film, complete with the cozy British feel-good warm fuzzy feelings of a large and loud colorful cast of characters that charm their way into your heart with their frantic antics and lovable moments. 🥹🥹 Simply an endearing and light read that makes you want to move to the countryside when all else fails, much like, Lou, our heroine did.Oh now, you always say that.’ The cashier was evidently accustomed to his crabbiness. ‘And the prices haven’t changed since last week, my love.’ Edgar decides to make her an offer. His offer means that she would leave the area she knows to be closer to someone who she has her eye on. He is not available so another distraction is on the way, is the object of her desire doing the same thing? Lou had been expecting a tiny cottage, maybe a bit dilapidated to match the dented grey Mini with its dusty tyres and scratched paintwork.

MY REVIEW: Hurrah! The new year can now officially begin, because we have a brand spanking new read from Jill Mansell to devour.
Now read the opening chapter of Jill’s latest book…
Naast deze hoofdpersonages volg je ook Lou’s jeugdvriend Sammy, die graag een beroemde zanger wil worden, zijn aantrekkelijke broer Remy en een oude bekende van Edgar, een bont en boeiend gezelschap, de één sympathieker dan de ander. De leuk neergezette personages brengen leven in de brouwerij, creëren opschudding en drama maar zijn er ook voor elkaar, ze zorgen voor verrassingen en schuwen grote gebaren niet. Hierdoor blijft het verhaal afwisselend, wordt het geen moment saai en worden de verschillende perspectieven mooi met elkaar verbonden, al had ik over enkele elementen en achtergronden graag nog uitgebreider willen lezen. When Della, a woman from Edgar’s distant past arrives on the scene, things change for Lou. She leans on the members of the small community that she’s become part of more than ever and Edgar is going to learn a stark lesson about human nature too.
