The Sweet Life

Everyone loves a love story: and that’s what they’ll find in the heart of this delicious novel set in the Blue Ridge mountains, as well as humour, warmth and drama.

Wilma Swan married for love the second time around (the less said about her late first husband the better, though she’s glad she knew him as otherwise her granddaughter Star wouldn’t be a joyful part of her life), and she and Roy have been happy as can be. But lately, things have changed, and Wilma’s convinced Roy is playing away. In a town the size of Swan’s Knob nothing stays secret for long and she’s braced for shocking revelations. In fact Roy’s heading for a crisis which will test them both and have a lasting impact on the community around them – bringing out the caring side of the local people as well as the opportunity for human nature to show its every aspect. Twisting and turning with surprises in every chapter, Lynn York’s lovely new novel will keep readers gripped, and leave them on a high.
