This was such a lovely book. Aimie K. Runyan has a gift for transporting you to the places in her books (this is my second of her novels, the first was A Bakery in Paris). A gift not unlike Tempèsta’s for nurturing and bringing the magic out of plants! That alone would give me reason to read them, even if there wasn’t a good story, but the story is always good too!

It’s a sweet love story, a beautiful story about going back to one’s roots, about what makes a place home, building and nurturing community, and the power of places and things to be conduits of love and memories. 

I don’t want to say much more than that and spoil it. Just read it and enjoy your trip to Saint-Colombe!
