Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-13 00:00:00 Danielle Rodriguez Sometimes you just want a book that will be light reading and entertain you for a while. If that is the case, you might like this one. It is the story of Grace Soundly, recently divorced and struggling to maintain the stately but derelict old house left to her by her godmother. Her sister and brother are just as determined she should sell it and split the proceeds from the sale with them. But Grace cannot bear to part with Luckenham House. Then to her door comes Ellie Summers, an artist who loves painting pictures of pretty or interesting houses. Despite being very different, Grace and the single and pregnant Ellie hit it off and become friends. Together they try and come up with ways for Grace to raise money so she can keep the house. These include wine tastings as Grace is used to writing about wine in her wine column. Flynn McCormack comes to this first wine tasting. Having been hurt by and still pining for her ex-husband, Grace seems determined to ignore Flynn’s willingness to help her. Then Demi, Grace’s stepdaughter from her marriage to Edward, comes looking to move in. Despite initial protests from Edward and his first ex-wife Hermia, Demi moves into Luckenham House. Admittedly I suspect you have to be in the mood for this kind of book and at the time I was. I enjoyed this book. It was a fun read, although at times I did think the author wittered on a bit. Still, it made for a good holiday read, not overly taxing on the brain and good for a laugh at times.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-08-04 00:00:00 Vicki Hunter Please only read Katie Fforde in the summer and two years apart. She can write at a good pace, the plots are ok, the settings great - the Cotswolds. Some of the author's ethical decisions are admirable. In Grace the restoration of the gardens, the mockery of the millionaire and model terrific, the resolution just right -- but too much like a lemon souffle. I think there's an old word that applies 'air headed' -- Not terrrible, but surfacey. I'm not being crabby, I enjoyed Restoring Grace, just demanding more from writers and readers.
