donnareadathon2021 's review for:
The Distant Shores
by Santa Montefiore
I kindly received an eARC advance copy of this book to read and review though NetGalley.
This may be one book in a series but it definitely didn’t feel like it when I was reading it.
It’s the 1980’s and Margot is a young author who has just written a successful book about Eva Peron and is now in Ireland at an old castle as the writer-in-residences for the next 9 months.
The castle belonged to the Deverill family for the past 300 years but the most recent Lord Deverill (JP) put it up for sale and is living as a recluse in the nearby Hunting Lodge.
Margot goes to see him and instead of him chasing her away, he invites her to work on the book with his support.
As Margot gets closer to the facts of the past, JP and his attractive young son Colm get closer to Margot.
The story is interwoven with the story of the spirits that inhabit the castle who themselves haven’t found peace.
I loved this story and the feeling of how those from the past still sometimes need to come to terms with their deeds. It’s a beautiful and memorable read and one I would definitely recommend! ⭐️❤️
