ABOUT THIS BOOK It's time for Beti Winter to dance to her own beat. After three failed engagements Beti is in desperate need of a fresh start. What better place than the sun-drenched hills of southern Spain? But it's not all sangria and siestas. Beti finds work on an old Andalucian cherry farm where there are cherries to be picked, trees to be watered and her fiery boss, Antonio, to win over. As the sun toasts her skin, Beti finds herself warming to the Spanish way of life. Embracing the art of flamenco, she discovers there is much to learn from the dance of passion. She just has to let loose and listen to the rhythm of her heart. MY REVIEW After a stressful day, I decided to pick up SUNSET OVER THE CHERRY ORCHARD by Jo Thomas and I have to say it was the best decision I could have made as I fell in love with this wonderful story and amazing place and it completely made my night! Beti Winter understands that life can throw you a curveball, after all, she has been engaged three times, but working at a job she hates at the airport and fleetingly passing her fiancé, Will, in the hallway, isn't the stuff that dreams are made of. So when she impulsively decides to take her meagre savings and move to Spain to finally open her own bar, she is relieved when Will jumps onboard with the idea. But plans often go awry and soon Beti finds herself dumped and broke when Will does a disappearing act with a new woman on his arm. As Beti works hard to stay in Spain, she finds a job and friendship among the locals and as she begins to piece her life back together again, she may just find out who she really is in the process ... There is laughter, tears, friendship, jealousy, and passion all vying for attention against the stunning backdrop of rural Spain. Jo Thomas has such a beautiful way with words so that you can almost taste the exquisite food, smell the blossoms on the breeze, and feel the warmth of the sun on your face as you turn the page. Beti is a wonderful character who I instantly connected with and I loved watching her become the stronger version of herself that I knew was hidden inside. With fiery temperaments, community spirit, and the true meaning of love and family at the heart of this story, SUNSET OVER THE CHERRY ORCHARD by Jo Thomas is the perfect novel to while away an evening with and I look forward to more from this glorious author.
