Well this was just a lovely read. Happiness in a book. Tales of heartache turned into a happy ending. Gorgeous book, will happily read Lucy Diamond again.
A little slow to start but when it gets going it is a good book. I loved reading this and the different stories. At first it felt a bit disjointed until the stories all came together.
Each character is in the house as they want a new beginning. Some bits made me smile at times especially when it came to Georgia. It was a good book and think if it had been a bit of a quicker start at the beginning I would have enjoyed it more. Still a good nice read. X

I loved this book and devoured it quickly because it was just so enjoyable and engaging to read!
The story follows three women, strangers initially, who for various reasons have moved into the same townhouse of flats to start again. Often when stories follow multiple main characters, I end up enjoying one character’s story more than the others. With ‘The House of New Beginnings’ however, I loved all three storylines equally and enjoyed seeing them overlap.
This was the perfect book to curl up with on the sofa and while away a rainy day.

Ihanan lempeätunnelmainen romaani. Uusien alkujen talo oli kevyttä luettavaa, vaikka käsitteli vakaviakin aiheita. Ystävyyden kantava voima sekä huumori kevensivät sopivasti ja kun sen yhdisti vielä jouhevaan kerrontaan, niin lopputulos oli sopivan kevyt, mutta vakuuttava.
Jokaisella kirjan kolmesta päähenkilöstä on omat ongelmansa ja haavansa, joista koskettavin oli ehdottomasti lapsena menettäneen Charlotten tarina. Kuitenkin ystävyys ja Brightonin lempeät tuulet valavat naisiin uutta uskoa elämään ja he saavat uutta puhtia elämiinsä. Kolmen naisen kohtaamispaikkana toimii talo, josta sattumalta heistä kaikki saa uuden alun elämälleen .
Tää kirja on just niitä viihderomaaneja, jotka saa hymyn huulille ja jotka lämmittää sisältä.

I listened to the audio version of this book. I loved the female characters all brought together by living in flats in the same house on Duke Street, Brighton. There is Rosa who lives alone, has broken away from a distrous relationship and left a high powered PR job to train as a chef. There is Margot an elderly French woman who also lives alone and helps another resident , the broken hearted and very lonely Charlotte, begin to live again. And there is Georgie who has moved down from Yorkshire with her boyfriend Simon and is desperate to find a job and meet new people. We also meet Jo, a single mum who works as a nurse and her teenage daughter Bea.
All the women have different personalities and come from different backgrounds. They have had different experiences and are at different stages of their journey through Life. Yet they are united by the personal hardships they face and the joys of making friends, starting new jobs and relationships and finding the courage to start over again.
There are tears, tantrums, moral dilemmas and many funny bits as well as a humongous dose of love, lust and romance!
A frivolous but fun read, with so many happy endings I lost count, but hey, we all need to believe in rainbows and unicorns sometimes don't we?!
I would absolutely, definitely, certainly and happily read another Lucy Diamond book.
