Two sisters, one absent father and a grand inheritance . . .
Maggie and Liz may be sisters (and yes, named after a pair of much more famous siblings), but that's about all they have in common. Maggie is a free spirit - travelling the world, flitting through life and relationships without ever really having to connect. Liz, meanwhile, is the lynchpin of Little Martin village society and determined to be the perfect wife, mother and homemaker - even if she does live in a new build.
When Liz and Maggie's beloved grandmother, Queen Vic, dies in a characteristically dramatic fashion, they are left to deal with the aftermath - inheriting the family Manor, as well as full responsibility for their profligate father, a notorious womaniser who causes trouble wherever he goes.
Maggie and Liz have been living separate lives for years - but now might finally be the time to put their differences behind them.
I thought this was a great story! It focuses on Liz and Maggie as well as their eccentric father George! Their family relationship was definitely strained at the beginning but I really liked our characters so wanted them to all get on and resolve their issues.
I think the fact that Maggie & Liz were so different yet both had the same tense relationship with their dad George made for interesting reading and it was good to see the dynamics between them as pairs and also a trio as the book went on.
There was some very humorous moments in this that made me laugh out loud at times. I seemed to fly through the chapters and loved the characters and the descriptions of the area and the Manor House.
I really loved the ending and thought it was just perfect! I would love to read more from them.
