Reading a Jenny Colgan book always fills me with
contentment. I know the story will draw me in and
the dialogue will be both funny and serious and I
will love the characters. I just know it. And, I was not
wrong this time either.
In THE ENDLESS BEACH are we back on the Scottish Island
of Mure and once again we meet Flora MacKenzie who left
her prestigious job in London to open a café on the
island in the previous book THE CAFÉ BY
THE SEA. This
book picks up where we left the characters. Flora and her
ex-boss Joel are now together. But, if Flora thinks
that everything will fall into place because of that
she is surely wrong. Joel's background, growing up as an
orphan living in foster homes has made him tough and hard
to reach. It's not easy seeing her own brother having an
easier relationship when Flora's own is on the breaking
point more or less.
I could go on and on about what is going on in this book,
but that would spoil too much and I think that you should
just pick up this book (and the first if you have not
read it) and find out for yourself. One thing I want to
say about this book is that it's way more serious than
the other books I have read by Colgan. Not that the other
books are all fluffy and without serious moment. This
one, well we have Flora's own situations, but there are
several other deeply moving moments concerning both her
family members and friends. THE ENDLESS BEACH is a book that
will move
you deeply. And, I hope that there will be at least one
more book in this series.
From the New York Times bestselling author of
The Bookshop on the Corner and The Cafe by the
Sea comes another enchanting, unforgettable novel of a
woman who makes a fresh start on the beautiful Scottish
Island of Mure—only to discover life has more surprises in
store for her
When Flora MacKenzie traded her glum
career in London for the remote Scottish island of Mure, she
never dreamed that Joel—her difficult, adorable boss—would
follow. Yet now, not only has Flora been reunited with her
family and opened a charming café by the sea, but she and
Joel are taking their first faltering steps into
romance.
With Joel away on business in New York,
Flora is preparing for the next stage in her life. And that
would be…? Love? She’s feeling it. Security? In Joel’s arms,
sure. Marriage? Not open to discussion.
In the
meanwhile, Flora is finding pleasure in a magnificent sight:
whales breaking waves off the beaches of Mure. But it also
signals something less joyful. According to local
superstition, it’s an omen—and a warning that Flora’s future
could be as fleeting as the sea-spray…
A bracing
season on the shore sets the stage for Jenny Colgan’s
delightful novel that’s as funny, heartwarming, and
unpredictable as love itself.
