Book Love, The Dandelion Years

I found this book at the Gatwick airport under best reads for summer. It was exactly what I needed, and I am a sucker for a book with a gorgeous cover! I love a recommendation and have found some of the best books I’ve read I’ve purchased from Airport book shops.

This book starts by describing a beautiful home called Ashcombe, on the edge of a Suffolk village. It describes the family who live there and the extraordinary circumstances of this unique living situation. The story centres on Saskia, a young woman who lives in the house with her father and two grandfathers. Their relationship sounds perfect, and we learn that both her grandmothers and mother were all killed in a car accident when she was young. Everyone does their equal share of the household chores, and the description of the home sounds beautiful.

Saskia is a book restorer and her father an Antique bookseller. One day she finds a notebook Hidden in an old diary that has her spellbound once she starts to read the contents. On her journey to find out more, she finds herself in an interesting relationship that will change her life forever.

I loved reading this book and am going to read more by the same author. Have you read any of Erica James’ books? Her ability to describe things is amazing, and I felt like I became a part of this family. This is a book about love, not just romantic love (though there is that too) but one of family love. The relationship between the three generations of Saskia’s family is interesting. But if you like a gentle, heart-warming story with likeable characters that are just a little bit different to the norm, you will enjoy this book. I loved it and I highly recommend it.

The Dandelion Years is written by Erica James. Next month I will be talking about A Song For Issey Bradley by Carys Bray, so if you are looking for a book to read and want to join in the conversation start reading!
