£2.80
The perfect comfort read, brimming with humour and heart, from bestseller Veronica Henry.
A day they’ll remember forever…
It was supposed to be the perfect country wedding: gorgeous flowers in the village church, a marquee in the garden and a few carefully chosen guests.
But bride-to-be Mandy is already clashing with her mother, the groom is already getting cold feet and suddenly a very unexpected guest has arrived in the little Cotswolds village of Honeycote!
As the champagne is poured and the church bells start to ring out, one thing’s for sure – it’s going to be a day to remember…
Irresistibly good fun and bursting with heart, A Country Life is the second book in the Honeycote series, which includes A Country Life and A Country Wedding. It can be read on its own or as part of the series.

Apart from being slightly confused about this novel having two different titles, I did enjoy it. Again, meeting characters from previous novels is always interesting. Right to the end I wasn’t sure if it would all turn out alright or if someone or something would blow the whole plot up. I look forward to meeting Mayday when she has sorted the family from Honeycote out

Last in the tilogy best of you read the previous books so you can get to know the characters more involved like an episode in a soap but a good read that you can pick up from where you leave it. Enjoyable

I have now read all the Honeycote series and I just wish there were more. I enjoyed each one and it took me into another world where it seemed I belonged. I knew all the characters they were so well drawn and the village would make the perfect rural idyll.. I love the writing of Veronica Henry.

Having just read and thoroughly enjoyed “Marriage and other Games” I had a little hiccup with this book. There seemed to be too many characters introduced within a short space of time all with similar names such as Lucy, Mandy, Ginny, Kitty, Mickey and Mary (who became MayDay). (People who sailed through War and Peace with its epic cast would have no problems here though!) Although Lucy was a well-rounded character – Mandy seemed a shadowy figure. I think with so many characters to deal with it is inevitable that some are going to be more monochrome than others. Their complex relationships were well-handled, the storyline good and most of the people privileged to the extent that the village primary school is not even considered an option for Flora – despite the penniless state her mother finds herself in. Even Mayday – who is portrayed as a brash, fun-loving girl from the lower levels of Honeycote society, blossoms unexpectedly and rapidly into a fully-fledged investor and capable business woman – without assistance from any government sponsored business training programmes!! Victoria Henry is a great observer of human interaction and I like her portrayal of the male characters. When faced with life-changing circumstances they either walk away from an unpleasant situation (James), try to wriggle out of responsibility (Mickey), be close and secretive instead of sharing when faced with fear( Keith) or be noble and self-sacrificing like Patrick. There is often reference to the collective, almost conspiratorial, Liddiard men bond. But in the end they all deal with their entrenched attitudes and move forward into better relationships with their other halves. It is refreshing to have male characters dealt with realistically and in depth even though they all – including Alejandro – come out reformed characters- which perhaps is a bit too unbelievable – too many leopards opting to ditch the spots! But you get a warm, positive glow from everything working out well – though perhaps unexpectedly.
Marriage And Other Games

Yet another book of Veronicas that I couldn’t put down. The twists and turns and complications of all the relationships were so clever. It was so nice not to be able to work out which way things were going. The wedding itself was a real fairy tale. Makes you think about every woman feels about getting older and how they deal with it. Real girl power .

Look forward to reading this.

I adore this author can’t get enough of her writing. Every book I have read holds my attention right to the last page.
