Home to Echidna Lane
Eva Scott
Reviewed by Helen
You can never go wrong when you pick up an Eva Scott book, they are heartwarming, witty and beautiful, her characters are so true to life and very easy to make friends with, and I loved this one so much, set in Tasmania in such a beautiful area and set around a walnut farm, I learnt so much and the recipes throughout the book are so yummy I am going to need to try them, this is one not to be missed.
When Lacy Clark’s world explodes around her on live TV she is devastated, this cannot be happening to her, what does she do now? The only thing she can and that is to take her two boys Harry and Ollie and escape back to the place she never wanted to be, her home town of Whitton back to Echidna Lane in Tasmania and back to her parents.
Shane Morrisey is widowed and has a daughter Matilda, they own Coal River walnut farm and life is going well, he has had a lot of help from his neighbours Joyce and James Kane with Matilda and the farm, he went to school with their daughter Lacey and always had a crush on her, so when she returns home heartbroken and unsure of what the future holds, Shane is determined to be there for his friend, knowing that, that crush is still there.
Soon the chemistry between Lacey and Shane is growing, but Lacey is going through so much and is uncertain if she wants to stay in rural Tasmania or return to Sydney, Shane knows that his life is here on the farm with his daughter they are all getting on so well, could they make a new life together, will they find the love they both really deserve after all they have both been through?
This is such an awesome story, beautifully told, filled with emotion, it is witty and heartwarming, I loved Matilda, Harry and Ollie they are the best kids, the farm and the setting are fabulous and of course Shane and Lacey are perfect for each other. This is one that I highly recommend, Eva Scott is one of my favourite authors and I never miss one of her stories.
