I love Anne’s stories always looking forward to the next one that she very kindly sends me to read for a review.
Anne Allen was born in Rugby to a Welsh father and an English mother. As a result, she spent many summers with her Welsh grandparents in Anglesey and learned to love the sea. Now she is based in Devon to be near her daughter and two small grandchildren. Her restless spirit has meant many moves, the longest stay being in Guernsey for nearly fourteen years after falling in love with the island and the people. She contrived to leave one son behind to ensure a valid reason for frequent returns. Her younger son is based in London – ideal for city breaks ☺
By profession, Anne was a psychotherapist who long had a desire to write and Dangerous Waters, her first novel, was published in 2012. It was awarded Silver(Adult Fiction) in TheWishingShelfAwards 2012. Since then she has published six more books in The Guernsey Novels series; Finding Mother, Guernsey Retreat, The Family Divided, Echoes of Time- winner of The Diamond Book Award 2017, a finalist in Readersfavorite awards and granted a ChillWithABookAward, The Betrayal, and The Inheritance, published April 2019. Her Previous Self. a Regency time-slip, is published on 2nd August 2021.
I enjoyed this as always, great characters that go so well with the story, I often wonder if ghosts are real as you do get some people say they have seen one, or is it just our imagination? I feel I would like to believe that anything to make life a bit different is good I feel. I thought the ending was good with the similarities, I wasn’t expecting that, actually had not even thought of that part. A great story for an Autumn afternoon is the sunshine, looking forward to Anne’s next book.
