Over de auteur

Jenni Keer is a history graduate who embarked on a career in contract flooring before settling in the middle of the Suffolk countryside with her antique furniture restorer husband. She has valiantly attempted to master the ancient art of housework but with four teenage boys in the house it remains a mystery. Instead, she spends her time at the keyboard writing women's fiction to combat the testosterone-fuelled atmosphere with her number one fan #Blindcat by her side. Much younger in her head than she is on paper, she adores any excuse for fancy-dress and is part of a disco formation dance team.

Review:

A wonderful story written over an dual time line with a mystical twist. The first timeline tells the story of Percy an architect of the Arts and Craft movement and takes place at the end of 19th century and early 20th century. The second timeline is set in the present and tells the story of Molly who after her relationship ends finds herself at a loose end. Unable to fall back on her parents as she was expecting, she is kind of forced stay with her granddad a recent widower in a remote village in Dorset. With no internet and plenty of time on her hand, she becomes intrigued with the history of the house she is staying in, in her investigation she not only helps her granddad heal but also finds herself again.

Overall:

This book is beautifully written, set in a beautiful location. It gave am interesting insight into the Arts and Craft Movement, which I didn’t know a lot about. The setting of the book the Dorset and Norfolk coast were described in great detail. This made the scenes appear very realistic. The characters were complex but interesting and their actions felt authentic, this made them realistic. You feel yourself getting invested in them easily. The story flowed well and was very captivating. I was sad when I reached the end and there was no more.

Simply brilliant!

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 14 oktober 2021

Geverifieerde aankoop

This book was a little different to those I usually read but I am so pleased I read it because it is just superb! The historical architectural details are fascinating and the twist between the two storylines is so clever. I read it in a weekend I couldn't put it down, if I could give it more than 5 stars I would and I am now desperate for more books from Jenni Keer.

A very enjoyable read

feel I am slightly late to the Praise Party, what an incredible book. 👏

We meet the most obnoxious, selfish 24 year old Molly, the world owes her a living for just being alive. Spoilt and overindulged to the core by her stepfather Brian and her mother, humoured by her best friend Izzy. Even her now Ex Rupert spent their entire relationship spoiling her, and then it happens, he dumps her. With nowhere to go and nowhere to stay, a dead-end job which is an insult to her degree.

She ends up at Hawthorn Place, staying with her beloved granddad, who is grieving heavily for her grandma Briggie. Here she is stuck with no WiFi, no money and no one to do anything for her, here she learns a lesson or two about herself and how she behaves and day by day her attitude and life transforms, she evens teaches herself to cook and clean thanks to a part time job she acquires underhandededly with gentle but troubled giant Rory. Her romantic life is spiced up by the handsome Harrison.

We flip between the Present Day and the late 1800s where we meet bachelor Percy Gladwell the architect behind Hawthorn Place, Mrs Marston and her husband Edward. A forbidden love ensues, but does it conquer all, how could it bridge 200 miles and a filandering, possessive husband?

Step inside this magical, inspirational book to find out. 100% a 5☆ read. Can’t wait to read more.

Thanks to Heidi Swain and Sue Baker for introducing me to this wonderful author.

Wonderful!

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 14 oktober 2021

Geverifieerde aankoop

This is an absolutely wonderful dual time story with magical elements that captivated me from the very first page and kept me spellbound. Based on two amazing Arts & Crafts houses, mysteriously designed and built by the same architect, the story slowly unfolds. To begin with, the heroine in the present, Molly, is naïve, spoiled and entitled, but she is also endearing and the reader can’t help but like her. Bewildered by her parents’ sudden tough love, we watch her grow in maturity and blossom as she gains some valuable insights and starts to turn her life around. Her adventures throughout a summer spent with her grandfather in Dorset were a joy to read about. Then there is 19th century architect Percy, whose unrequited love seems hopeless, even though the reader wants nothing more than for him to be happy. Gentle humour abounds, and there is a simmering love story in the present, as well as an all-consuming one in the past. Both were equally riveting and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who loves a truly great timeslip story.

History, Mystery and Romance

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 14 maart 2022

Geverifieerde aankoop

An unusual and intriguing story with threads in the past and the present and even a touch of magic.

I loved the story in the past of Percy Gladwell and Violet and would have loved more of this storyline. I wanted to tell Molly’s mother off for letting her grow up so hopeless with practical living, but I guess she made exceptions for her daughter given their circumstances.
Given this, I found it more difficult to relate to Mollie, but warmed to her as the book progressed. And admired the changes she made in her life.

The architectural details about Arts and Crafts houses and the insight into the architect’s life are fascinating. I liked the fact that I had previously visited Wightwick Manor near Wolverhampton, which has William Morris wallpapers and an Arts and Crafts collection and could visualise the houses and the wallpaper in the book very vividly as a result.

The book had me laughing aloud at times and thinking deeply at others. A great read.

Romantic and magical

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 17 oktober 2021

Geverifieerde aankoop

The Secrets of Hawthorn Place is one of those wonderful, magical stories that appear rarely and stay in your heart forever. The clever use of time-slip gives an extra depth to the characters, bringing mystery and intrigue into their sometimes-tangled relationships. The two quirky houses (and their respective settings) that form the framework of Percy and Violet's moving romance are beautifully drawn. Aching to be together, Percy and Violet's passionate, secret love spans years of longing, and the modern-day romance is equally well depicted. Molly's journey towards becoming a fully-fledged grown-up at last is rib-ticklingly funny in parts and very familiar to a mum of girls...I absolutely loved everything about this book; it lends itself to being made into a film/TV series, and I firmly expect it to fly!
