About this ebook

1901, Wiltshire. Young Kathleen Keller is being forced into marriage with a man she despises by her cruel father. In an act of desperation, she runs away in a bid for a safer life, although one she might not have otherwise have chosen. But when tragedy strikes, Kathleen is left vulnerable and one man threatens the fragile peace she has made for herself.
Meanwhile, Nathan Perry works for his father's accountancy firm but yearns for something more satisfying. He is brought in to help with the purchase of Honeyfield House, intended as a safe house for women in trouble by a charitable benefactor, and there encounters Kathleen. Their lives are set to intertwine and neither will be the same again.

I won't be reading the other Honeyfield books. This one was decent but tedious to read. I spent most, if not all, of the book waiting for something to happen. Mostly it was just a telling of the characters' lives (with an emphasis on the female lead) almost in a documentary manner. It spans a little over 10 years culminating in the coming together of most of the characters' lives. However, like most authors who put the reader through drama, angst, tragedy and one unfair event after another, the ending was disappointing. I wish there had been a epilogue of some kind telling you what happened with Rhoda, one of the main characters, or the son who was disowned by this father, or the widow of the lead's father in law, the list goes on. It's entirely possible the author may fill in some of those gaping holes in her story in the later books but I'll never know because those books will most likely not have any payoffs in the end either.
