Today it is my turn on the blog tour for The Highland Hens by Judy Leigh
Book Review
The Highland Hens by Judy Leigh
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
In the imposing Glen Carrick House overlooking Scotland's famous Loch Ness lives eighty-eight-year-old Mimi McKinlay, cared for by her three adult sons. Hamish has inherited his mother's musical talents, Fin is the responsible brother, and Angus has the complicated and brooding personality to match his dashing good looks.
But what all the brothers share is a concern that their beloved mother is living in her memories of her days on stage, while letting her present days pass her by.
Jess Oliver is at a turning point. Amicably divorced after years of being married, this trip to the Highlands is a first taste of independence. It isn't long before the beauty and hospitality of Scotland captures her heart.
From the title, I had formed an idea of what this book was going to be like - how wrong I was. A heart-warming book about friendship and escaping loneliness. Unusually, Judy has written this book with an aging cast - most are over the age of 50, but do not be fooled - this does not lead to a boring book.
Rating: 4/5
