Fifteen-year-old Issy and her newly single mother, Caroline
Evans, are struggling to find their way alone, as well as
together. At thirty-eight, with little money and all the
responsibility for the two of them, Caroline is coming to
terms with her new situation. When she decides to leave
Singapore, home of her former well-off life (and her
cheating husband), she ends up living in an English village
pub, cooking dinners there to earn enough to get by, meeting
unexpectedly quirky people, and making friends. But Issy
still adores her father and secretly blames her mother for
their change in life. Just as Caroline's dream of
converting an old barn into a restaurant finally begins to
take shape, her chance at happiness is threatened and hangs
in the balance as whispers of murder and vengeance find
their way to her. When Issy, who is hovering in that limbo
between girl and young woman, begins to make some risky
choices, the stakes are raised even higher. A Place in the
Country is filled with emotions every woman will recognize
as Caroline and Issy make their way in the world and do
battle with those who would wish to see them lose their
chances to gain their heart's desires. Love and hate,
blame and responsibility, deception and trust all collide in
this novel that is Elizabeth Adler at her page-turning best.
