From the Fields of Porthlenn by Deborah M. Hathaway
4.0
From the Fields of Porthlenn is a second chance sweet historical romance set on the rocky shores of Cornwall. Deborah excels at historical scene setting and characterization. I felt like this could be made into a BBC movie that I would rewatch over and over.
3 years of separation...three years of misunderstandings and longing and palpable heartache. The reconnection is authentic and not easy...but its also really sweet and full of emotional depth.
The romance is one that will steal your heart. It is a dual perspective plot so you can see how hard it is for both Poppy and Edmund and how they feel pulled in different directions but also have this internal compass pointing towards each other.
I felt a part of this hamlet. All of these characters come alive on the pages...they are so full of warmth and belonging and I loved seeing characters from the previous book. Their struggles are real and their heartaches are realistic. The ending was beautifully done and was the cherry on top. I still have a few books in this series I haven't read so I don't have to say goodbye quite yet.
I have no notes. Beautifully done. I will always read whatever Deborah writes next. Hopefully this isn't the last we have seen of Cornwall.
