Once Upon A Thyme is the latest release from author Jane Lovering to be published via Boldwood Books.
Since taking over the family herb farm, Natalie has stuck with what she knows, rarely venturing much further than the nearby village where her invalid mother now lives. But then, one day, everything changes with the arrival of unexpected visitors.
First comes Zeb, employed by Natalie’s mother to help with the business but soon hinting at other motives. Then comes Simon with the famous band he manages, wanting to film in Natalie’s beautiful garden. The band causes chaos and the attitude of one particular member throws Natalie’s ordered life into confusion.
Over one magical summer of revelations and of uncovering secrets, Natalie starts to blossom and by the time autumn arrives she knows nothing will ever be the same again. Will she finally get an answer to the mystery of her childhood? And can she embrace the fresh start she so deserves – but which means she’ll have to take one enormous and brave leap of faith?
Once Upon A Thyme is an utterly delightful, warmly written tale. This isn’t a book that reinvents the genre. It doesn’t need to.
It’s confident in its own quiet, well-crafted way. The pacing is steady, the dialogue adds to the story rather than just being people talking, and the setting is a place you can imagine visiting without being over-described. It knows what it’s doing—and does it very, very well.
It showcases Jane’s talent at creating enjoyable lovely reads where you easily become deeply invested in the characters, their lives and the places they live.
If you’re looking for a story that values character over plot twists then this a book you really need to read,
