Chicky falls in love with Walter. He
convinces her to leave Stoneybridge in Ireland and come to New York
with him, promising that they will always be together. Forever turns
out to be a couple of months. Chicky is left alone in New York with
no friends and no job. Luckily she finds work at Mrs. Cassiday's
boarding house. Chicky doesn't want to go home and confess what a
mess her life turned out to be, but Mrs. Cassiday finally convinces
her and to her amazement, she loves being back. She loves it so much
that she makes arrangements to buy Stone House from Miss Queenie
Sheedy. Thus starts the plan to turn Stone House into a select hotel.
This is a delightful, sunny story that
makes you feel good inside just reading about Stone House and all the
marvelous characters, guests and staff, that help to make the hotel a
reality. The book is actually a series of short stories all tied
together by the theme of preparing Stone House to become a hotel and
welcome guests. Each story is complete, but they build on each other
to compose the picture of the hotel and its guests.
I highly recommend this book if you're
a fan of Maeve Binchy, or if you just want to curl up and take a
journey of the imagination to Stone House on the coast of Ireland.
I reviewed this book for the Amazon
Vine Program.
