This was a great read to start of summer! I am new to Fforde, thought I've seen her books in stores often and have been tempted to give one a try. I am glad I did, because this was a lovely, entertaining story with characters I enjoyed and the setting was beautifully illustrated. Recommended!

Sisters Gina and Sallie inherit the French House, an antiques emporium in the English countryside from their aunt and set about modernising the business. The sisters, already best friends are drawn even closer to each other in the process and there’s a budding romance in the works for one of them. A pleasant way to pass a summer afternoon
