intriguning good read

I was asked to review this book by Lovereading and as it was the Easter break I was really keen to sit outside in the sunshine and read this intriguing novel.

Ellie fed up with her life leavers behind her mother, father and brother and goes off to Europe. a phone call brings her back. Various stories emerge regarding her mothers disappearance - has she drowned or what has happened.

Ellie has to confront the past and decide if folklore has something to do with her mother.

This was so intriguing mystery with folklore woven into the story - I could not put this book down I had to keep reading to the end.

Well written and an author with Scottish and Celtic background an interest in folklore

All together a great read, due for publication in July 2019 and in time for the summer holidays.

I was asked to review this book by Nudge books.

Having grown up reading James Herriot books, watching the films, tv series I was interested to read this book. I had not know this was a tv series and to begin with thought this was about a modern day vet- yes it is but that he actually worked with the real life Alf Wight (James Herrot0 and Donald Sinclair (Siegfried Farnon).

This book brought back memories of some great tales of the dales and in some ways has brought back the love of the dales which veterinary practice has moved on since Alf Wright started in practice, but this is a new unexpected addition to the books I loved so much.

So Peter did work experience, worked with Jim Wight (son of Alf and author of Every Living Thing) trained as a vet and returned to the Dales. his path to veterinary college was not easy. The book gives a fascinating account of Peters life. The photographs of what we remember as James Herriot a nostalgic touch.

So recommended for James Herriot fan who thought there was nothing else once the books were read, watched repeats of adaptations and went to Thirsk to the "world of James Herriot" what a great find this book is.

My thanks to Nudge and the publishers - Mirror Books for letting me review this.
