The Summer Country

A historical novel that takes us from England to Barbados in 1854 is just the ticket for a riveting escape this summer. Emily Dawson, a poor vicar's daughter surrounded by her wealthy grandparents and uncle in Bristol, discovers she has inherited Peverills, a hallowed plantation (albeit now in ruins) in Barbados. Emily’s closest cousin Adam and his new wife come on the journey with her to unlock the tangled web of reasons and relations that connect Emily to this land. This book is an absolute thrill and a pleasure to read!
