Aunt Dimity and the Enchanted Cottage
|
In the twenty-fifth installment of the bestselling Aunt Dimity series,
Lori Shepherd befriends an inscrutable newcomer who holds the key to a tragic chapter in Finch's past. It's early May in the small English village of Finch and the air is crackling with excitement: A newcomer is about to move into Pussywillows, an enchanting riverside cottage with a romantic reputation. Will the cottage's newest resident succumb to its matchmaking magic? It seems doubtful. When Crispin Windle arrives in Finch, no one knows what to make of him. Seemingly a loner, he repels every welcoming gesture and appears altogether uninterested in being a part of the close-knit community. Worried by Mr. Windle's melancholy air, Lori Shepherd teams up with Tommy Prescott, a young army veteran who recently moved to Finch, in an effort to bring their newest neighbor out of his shell and into the village's warm embrace. Their attempts to befriend Mr. Windle lead to a startling discovery: the remains of a Victorian woolen mill that once brought prosperity to Finch. But it also contains a dark secret Finch has tried hard to forget. Will Mr. Windle make himself an outcast for good by exposing Finch's heart-wrenching history? Or will he offer the village a chance to heal---and finally allow the village to help him heal, too? |
