Still raw from the untimely passing of her beloved husband Samuel Stanton, his widow Gert sets to picking up the threads of her life running their guesthouse whilst their daughter Aileen oversees youngest son Reid. But tragedy is never far from their shore as events unfold which changes their lives forever.
This is not just a story of love and loss but one of hope and second chances. Set in the 70s in the picturesque village of Quonochontaug, an area composed of three beach communities, Ms. Pascoe’s unique prose conjures up the warmth and familiarity of living and working in a close knit community where not everything is all sugar and spice.
This profound tale touched my heart. Another winner for the talented Ms. Pascoe. I do hope the author might be tempted to consider a further instalment.
(Charlestown, Rhode Island) - Welcome to AILEEN’S GUESTHOUSE where locals and lodgers have more in common than first meets the eye. And, there's plenty of blame to go around.
