Description

From the bestselling author of The Bookshop Ladies, Faith Hogan, comes a wonderfully gripping and poignant story of two sisters and their family hotel on peaceful Pin Hill Island, once a thriving family business now struggling to survive.

All Blythe Carney ever wanted was to become a hotelier and run her family's business, the Hope Square Hotel. But fate, and her grandfather, intervened and it fell into her younger sister Rae's lap, taking her dreams with it. Now Blythe owns Still Water House, the most exclusive guest house on Pin Hill Island, but she can't help but feel she's still not living the life she was meant to.

Rae Johnson had no interest in taking over the hotel, her dreams lay elsewhere, but when she ended up with the family business her sister had set her heart on, her sense of duty to continue their family legacy with her husband was too strong to ignore.

Now, fifteen years later, newly widowed Rae is struggling to keep the hotel afloat and she knows that selling it could be the final straw in her already fragile relationship with her sister.

What do you do when your sister lives the life that you'd set your heart on? And when the perfect storm is brewing, surely, it's time to put aside the jealousy and disappointment that can tear a family apart, and fight for the future you have always dreamed of?

I have really enjoyed reading all Faith Hogan’s novels. This again was another 5 star read from me although it take me longer to both be invested in the story and characters.

The novel focuses on the sisters - Blythe and Rae and Blythe’s daughter, Sissy.

Blythe always expected to inherit management of the family hotel but after her marriage to Kit and the birth of Sissy, she is forced out. Instead her sister, Rae takes over after her marriage to Marcus - a former friend of Blythe’s from her college days.

Instead Blythe focuses on the development of Still Water House as a guesthouse. These events form a permanent rift in their relationship.

Rae - whose marriage was coercive and abusive - is forced to evaluate her future after the death of Marcus and the financial plight of the hotel becomes clear. She decides to sell up part of the hotel to allow redevelopment of the remainder.

As she is considering this - Blythe is facing a series of what feels like insurmountable issues - her relationship with her husband is fraying because of her overprotective nature towards their daughter; she is pushing her daughter away particularly over her relationship with an outsider; she cannot countenance the hotel being sold on to someone outside the family and her fear of outsiders is losing her friends.

Can the sisters find a way back to supporting each other and a new future?

A heartwarming story.
