The Guestbook at Willow Cottage

Shawna Gavas

Charming.... That is the word I would use to describe this book.

The story is set at Willow Cottage owned by Annie Butterworth. The entire story plays out within the pages of a guestbook left in the cottage for the occupants to correspond with their land lady. Through this, we meet a variety of characters. From the famous writer Oliver Black, to the crazy lady with more pets than you can keep track of!

Although it took me a bit to become comfortable with the set up, the story was light and entertaining. This would be a perfect summer beach read!

Welcome to Willow Cottage - throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home. Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! As landlady of Willow Cottage, the young widow Annie Butterworth is always on hand with tea, sympathy or strong Norfolk cider - whatever her colourful array of guests require. A flick through the messages in the leather-bound cottage guestbook gives a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of everyone who passes through her doors. This includes Annie herself - especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he's always just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with. Through the pages of the Guestbook Annie and Olly, along with all the guests that arrive at the seaside retreat, struggle with love, loss, mystery, joy, happiness, guilt...and the odd spot of naked rambling!Forget sending postcards saying wish you were here - one visit to Willow Cottage and you'll wish you could stay forever.Praise for Holly Martin 'Holly Martin writes about life and love with such big-hearted warmth and flair - invite The Guestbook into your home today!' - Belinda Jones 'Funny, poignant and riveting as well as romantic.
