The Memory of Lavender and Sage by Aimie K. Runyan
inspiring
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.75
Tempèsta has always felt lost in her family where her mother died when she was only 13 and her father threw himself more into work and her Grandmother couldn't stand the sight of her (it seemed).
Now her father has passed and she goes to live in a small village in France where her mother was born.
She buys a manor house in need of improvements and is unwelcome by many in the village, most of all the grumpy old mayor. But as she learns more about her mother and brings to life a greenhouse with healing herbs, the village slowly softens and they all start to heal.
The beauty of this novel is breathtaking! I felt I was right there in this beautiful village and healed a bit myself while Tempèsta did. I loved the eventual repair of the relationship with her brother.
