Lovely novel!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 February 2022

I absolutely loved this book - didn’t want it to end, and wondered if there’s any chance of a sequel. A really enjoyable family story about the impulse purchase of a country pub and how it impacts on both the family and local people. Highly recommended!

Not for me.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2022

I love her books, especially the Honeycote series, but this well, it was not for me. Far too sickly sweet with too many coincidences to ring true, the millionaire guy who saves all the village unfortunates got on my nerves the most along with descriptions of the family matriarch who owned the perfect wisteria covered cottage and her doctor husband and other far too many unbelievable and unrelateable people. Sorry Veronica, just my opinion.

A good story line and good characters.

I enjoyed this book and found it easy to engage with the characters. It was spoiled for me somewhat by such a neat and tidy ending. How fortunate they all were to have enough money to pursue all those ideas and everyone ended up getting what they wanted.! It was not a real.life ending to all the difficulties that were explored in the book.

A story of strong women

I love Veronica Henry, but I wasn’t sure about this novel when I started it. I shouldn’t have worried! It was full of her trademark style; strong women, emotions perfectly judged and beautifully described. Themes of grief and renewal, all told within the context of relationships abs community. Safe to say, I loved it!

Easy summer reading

I liked the idea of the book. The impulse purchase, it all seemed unrealistic in the fact how very hard it is to buy and set up a run down pub. The characters were ordinary people and Rushbrook came over as a really lovely place to visit. However, it wasn't engaging enough of a story to say I couldn't put it down. Instead I found myself skipping through pages as it was very predictable. A nice story though.

Wonderful feel good fiction

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2022

After an overload of dark fiction recently, I felt in desperate need for something more lighthearted, entertaining and heartwarming, and Veronica Henry delivered with the story of a family, 3 generations of women, all of whom find themselves at a crossroads, with their own issues, worries, needs and hopes. Cherry finds herself thrown off course by an incident at her long term partner, Mike's retirement party, a professor of art at Avonminster University, and has not got over losing her mother, Catherine. Her daughter, Maggie, is still grieving the loss of Frank, unable to come to terms with this, facing challenges to her PR consultancy business, and her daughter Rose has serious anxiety issues that were exacerbated with the loss of her beloved father, although her young daughter, Gertie has helped to stabilise her.

Cherry is overseeing the sale of her parents home in Rushbrook in Somerset, and visits The Swan pub which had been a part of her life as long as she can remember, she even worked there as a barmaid when she was younger. The Swan is in a terrible state and on the verge of being sold to a developer, she cannot bear the thought of this. She buys it on impulse, with the intention of renovating the premises and reopening it as pub serving as central hub to the local community. Maggie takes on the food, kitchen and PR aspects and Rose works hard to bring the neglected gardens that go down to the river up to scratch. Mike refuses to get on board with Cherry's project, unhappy at not being consulted and concerned it could fail and lose them money. The pub is renamed the Three Swans, a reference to the 3 women, as they hire local staff, getting involved with the community, will they be able to make a success of their new venture?

Henry creates characters that you cannot help but adore, fans of Henry will recognise the return of characters from some of her previous books here. The family bonds between Cherry, Maggie and Rose are strong, they will do whatever they need to do to support each other, and The Three Swans and the village of Rushbrook turns out to be just what Maggie and Rose need to help them move on in their lives. This is a wonderfully relaxing read to be immersed in, I loved the three women and the Rushbrook community, especially Chloe, pig farmer Russell, and Amanda. A perfect feel good and escapist read. Many thanks to the publisher for an ARC.
