Hunter's Moon is the ultimate 'forever' house. Nestled by a river in the Peasebrook valley, it has been the Willoughbys' home for over fifty years, and now estate agent Belinda Baxter is determined to find the perfect family to live there. But the sale of the house unlocks decades of family secrets - and brings Belinda face to face with her own troubled past. . .


Typical English chick-lit and a tad too twee, but though I did feel like rolling my eyes at times, it was a very sweet book, and I found more to like about it than not.

The plot is pretty much non-existing, and it's definitely a character-driven book, but I grew to care for both Belinda and Sally and appreciated the way the narration jumped back and forth in time to give us the story of Hunter's Moon both then and now.

I wasn't blown away by it, but liked it well enough.
