Foxglove Farm
Christie Barlow
The nice thing about these comfort reads is that we do know that no matter how bad things get it will all work out happily in the end!
And things get bad largely because people do slightly implausible things, failed to communicate and generally make bad life decisions. Fortunately, however, everyone else in the village will rally round and dig you out of whatever hole you have tossed yourself into.
The story, what it’s worth involves a fair bit of incident, repeatedly stolen alpacas, barn fires, near marital breakdown, debt, depression and injuries. The life of a farmer and the farmer’s family is never easy and we do get some insights to it here, including the need to diversify the income, in this case by setting up some static caravans and camper vans to offer camping accommodation.
I’m sure we would all like to live somewhere near love heart Lane, everyone is so nice there. If all you’re looking for is a undemanding read that but might actually move you as well as comfort you then you can’t go far wrong with Christie.
