Publisher Description
The House of New Beginnings is a moving and uplifting novel from bestselling author Lucy Diamond.
One life-changing summer . . .
In an elegant Regency house near the Brighton seafront, three tenants have more in common than they know.
A shocking revelation has led Rosa to start over as a sous chef. The work is gruelling but it’s a distraction . . . until she comes up against the stroppy teenager next door who challenges her lifestyle choices. What if Rosa’s passion for food could lead her to more interesting places?
Having followed her childhood sweetheart down south, Georgie is busily carving out a new career in journalism. Throwing herself into the city’s delights is fun, but before she knows it she’s sliding headlong into all kinds of trouble . . .
Nursing a devastating loss, Charlotte just wants to keep her head down. But Margot, the glamorous older lady on the top floor, has other ideas. Like it or not, Charlotte must confront the outside world, and the possibilities it still holds.
As the women find each other, hope surfaces, friendships blossom and a whole new chapter unfolds for them all.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Lucy Diamond's novel inspires some tears, laughter and a nice warm glow. She invites us into a Regency era house in Brighton where four female tenants are tackling a diverse array of issues. Diamond writes her likeable characters with real empathy, but doesn’t allow us to wallow with Rosa, Georgia, Charlotte or Margot for too long. You’ll be too busy rooting for them to bounce back from their personal tragedies, romantic disasters and career missteps.
Customer Reviews
Couldn’t put this book down!
Each of the characters stories were so different, and the way each one of them came out of the dark places they were in. I wish everyone could meet a friend like Margot who was able to see when a person was troubled. A great read.
