Tremarnock Summer

Brilliant third installment of village life. Love getting involved in the characters lives seeing how they evolve in each book is great. Can't wait for the next one

A wonderfully written book, full of interesting events that happen to the main characters. Bramble is a head-strong girl compared to Liz, a kind and rather shy lady - it's interesting to see how these two characters stories interact. Obviously, I love the idea of the old hall and the descriptions are lovely. A great read for the summer!

Could not put the book down as I got so interested in the story although in some parts I got the feeling that there was too much description,while I wanted to get on eith the story.
Cant wait to read the other books in the series.

This is the 1st book Ive read of Emma Burstall's and i can safely say it won't be the last. I was drawn to the cover of the book. The description made it sound like a lovely read. It was a great book. I enjoyed hearing all about Brambles up's and down's after inheriting her Grandfathers Cornwall Manor. It was a great easy going read. A great mix of different but mostly lovely characters. I will need to seek out the rest of the Tremarnock series now.

The Tremarnock Summer is the third book in the Tremarnock series and my first visit to this wonderfully vibrant Cornish village.  And even though I am a bit late to the reading party I still very much enjoyed Emma Burstall descriptive and heartwarming writing style.

Bramble Challoner has had a very normal upbringing. She lives in a semi in the suburbs of London with her parents and works at the call centre down the road. She still goes out with the boy she met at school. At weekends they stay in and watch films on the telly and sometimes hold hands. Bramble is dying for an adventure.
So when her very grand grandfather, Lord Penrose, dies, leaving his huge, rambling house in Cornwall to her, Bramble packs her bags immediately, dragging along her best friend, Katie. The sleepy village of Tremarnock had better be ready for its newest residents...

Bramble Challoner is happy enough, but she seems to be missing a bit of spark and excitement in her life. So it comes as a bit of a surprise when her very distant ( and not very likeable) relative bequests Bramble in his will a large estate Bramble's begins to fizz and spark with lots of possibilities. 

I loved Bramble's character she was not afraid of grabbing this one in a life time chance and embarked on an adventurous ( sometimes a bit daunting) journey to discover a bit more about her great grandfather, Lord Penrose. And with her best friend Katie, she finds lots of interesting things she would never expect. 
Through into the mix, a few other residents of the seaside town of Tremarnock and their own everyday life dramas and you have a very intriguing and fast paced story.

My only regret is that I haven't read Emma Burstall previous Tremarnock books as I got really fond of Liz and her little family as well as the other residents. 

The authors wonderfully descriptive writing made me fall in love with the beautiful place where the sky is blue, the sea has a magical pull, and the people rally around to make you feel happy.

A magical book to get comfy with this summer!

I loved the previous two Tremarnock books and was looking forward to this one.

It was a while since I had read the last one, but I was soon reacquainted with all the wonderful characters.

There’s some new people to get to know too, as we meet Bramble, who lives in a suburb of London. Stuck in a dead-end job, feeling that her life is going nowhere, she then discovers that the grandfather she never knew has left Polgarry Manor to her in his will.

It’s so interesting to see the differences in the suburban life she leads and the lives lead by people in the small friendly village of Tremarnock. It’s a big change for her when she moves to Cornwall.  Also, she is young and inexperienced, and it’s all quite a big challenge for her.

Soon their lives all begin to intersect as she gets more involved with village life.

The stories are, as always, stories of everyday life that will make the reader laugh and cry. Touching and heart-warming, you will feel like you know all the characters personally.

We learn about the real life struggles of everyday families, and the wonderful sense of community that pulls them all together.

The writing is so evocative of the sights and sounds of Cornwall, the lovely villages and the spectacular scenery.

There are dramatic moments too, and intriguing stories about the past.

A book that has it all, that will pull the reader in.  It’s a book that you’ll want to read in one sitting, but also be sorry to finish.  Highly recommended.

TREMARNOCK SUMMER by Emma Burstall is a wonderfully refreshing, endearing story that will effortlessly transport you to the picture-perfect setting of Cornwall and put a smile on your face. While this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone, where old characters mingle perfectly with new. 

Bramble Challoner is feeling a little dissatisfied with her safe little life - living with her loving parents, dating Matt who has been her boyfriend since they were teenagers and her 9-5 call centre job just down the road. So when she receives a letter informing her that she is heir to Polgarry Manor in Tremarnock following the death of her estranged grandfather, Bramble feels like it is a sign that everything is about to change. With the support of her best friend Katie, the two women arrive in Cornwall full of excitement and joie de vivre. But when they realise that nothing is quite what it seems, Bramble and Katie will soon show the locals exactly what they are made of. But is this magical place enough to make them want to stay forever?

The community in this story are centre stage as we get to learn how life is treating its members - for some life is everything they dreamed of, while others are struggling on the periphery, determined to remain isolated. You really get to experience the true meaning of community spirit in this book, and all of the characters will worm their way into your heart. TREMARNOCK SUMMER by Emma Burstall is an easy-paced, relaxing read with stunning scenery and interesting issues throughout, and I really enjoyed reading it. Perfect for a quiet evening outside with a cup of tea or a glass of wine in your hand.

The Tremarnock Summer is the third installment in the Tremarnock series. Everything is beautiful in this book, right from the cover to the story to the writing.

It's the story of Bramble Challoner. She is happy with her life, parents, friends and a boyfriend, what more could she want? But it's not all enough. She needs something more. So when she inherits an estate she can taste the beginnings of changes and is ready for an adventure! 

She fights, overcomes every obstacle and not let anything lead her down. I was even cheering for her at times and I was so glad to see her succeed. We get to meet other Tremarnock residents. It was nice to read about them as well. Liz seems to be one of the main characters. She was quite lovely helping people around. I liked her. Since this is the third book and I only just read this one I felt like I missed on Liz's past story so would like to read the books in the future. But having said that, this book can be read as a standalone so that's good too.

This is a nice summer read about characters in a town situated by the sea making it a perfect beach read

When I read the first of the series I fell in love with the Cornish coastal town of Tremarnock and it's residents especially Liz and her daughter Rosie. It was a pleasure to revisit this delightful place. Her descriptions capture the sea air, stunning scenery and atmosphere of living near the sea so even if you can't go on holiday, it provides a respite from real life.
Her relaxed style of writing lulls you into the calm and more relaxed pace of life of being in Cornwall. The Tremarnock series including this one make perfect holiday reading.
Unlike the other books it took me a while to connect to Bramble, the main character,  but until I did the other characters drew me in including ones we were revisiting such as Liz, Loveday and Pat and new ones like Fergus and Shannon. Bramble is a young woman from Chessington living a normal life when she inherits Polgery Manor in the village. On coming to live far from home, she gets more than she bargained for. I  assumed I knew where her story would lead but I was wrong because the story twisted in another direction.
Emma Burstall has a way of making the story about whole town not just the star of the current book, like a chilled out  soap opera.  I can't wait for next year's arrival to see how everyone are doing.
