I devoured this book. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about reading it.
Lottie says it best when she says that true art is in how people are able to reinvent their lives. Ultimately, this is a story about ordinary people put in difficult situations and their ability to adapt. About how life might not turn out how you thought it would, but that's not necessarily always a bad thing.

I do love Jojo Moyes. She writes a light, airy novel that doesn't assume you are light and airy between the ears. I thought this one was quite a bit too long, and I actually found some of the historical parts a little hard to follow - I'm not sure exactly what she was trying to get at with her long winded descriptions of their bohemian lifestyles, and there were too many minor characters in that section to really keep track of who was who. All in all, though, I did like the book, and I do think that the author has improved with her more recent novels.
Only highlighted quote from my kindle:
"Daniel had come to protect her just at a time when she was starting to weary of having to look after herself, and both had adapted to their respective roles within the relationship with the contended shimmying of a chicken settling down to roost."

Windfallen is a very slow, not very in-depth plot. The plot is a little bit unusual as it is based on a house. It was a enjoyable read to know how the characters developed from the past to the present. And what happens to the house over time. However, I have enjoyed other Jojo Moyes books better.
