My Review:
A Cornish Inheritance is a heartwarming, absorbing read which is the start of a fantastic new series.
The author does a great job of setting the scene so that the reader feels like they are transported to 1920’s Cornwall. I felt like I was actually there seeing all the coastal beauty and feeling the sun on my face. The 1920’s are one of my favourite periods so I really enjoyed all the little details about the time that the author includes too.
The characters are fantastic creations and I enjoyed following them throughout the book. Helen is a very strong, able women whose love for her children is very evident and touching to see. She really comes into her own when tragedy strikes though and it’s then that the reader gets to see what she’s made of. I was very impressed with how she dealt with everything that goes on and my affection for her grew as the story continued. Leah is an interesting characters who I wasn’t sure what her aim was or whose side she was on for most of the story. She keeps changing and shows different sides or her to different people which intrigued me but meant I couldn’t trust her.
There are lots of twists and turns in this book which kept me guessing as to how it would end. The story had a lovely flow to it which made it easy to read and I thought the ending was a great way to finish. I so enjoyed following the Fox family throughout the book and I look forward to reading more from this author, and this series, in the future.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Piatkus for my copy of this book. If you are looking for a fantastic new saga series I recommend this one!
