About Last Night ….
What you need to know before your trail
Molly has moved from London to rural Herefordshire chasing the Good Life. Swapping the tube for the saddle, she is living the country dream.
Apart from it isn’t really her dream. It’s her husband David’s. And David is, well, rather dead now.
Then a distant relative of her late husband kicks the bucket, leaving a London townhouse in her possession, and Molly dares to consider chucking it all in. Quitting the Good Life and going back to her good life.
But there’s a problem. A rather tall, handsome problem. In the shape of a man already living in Molly’s new house. And when a face appears from her past, Molly is more confused than ever.
Will Molly’s London dream replace her muddy reality? Do any of the men in her life really have honourable intentions? And has she said goodbye to country life too soon?
Travel Guide
Herefordshire
There really are a lot of contrasts in this story, with it predominately being set in very rural Herefordshire, and the rest in London. Molly is unsure if she wants her life in Herefordshire anymore, she is sick of never having any money, being so remote, but she feels it was her fault that her husband died 5 years ago, and this was his rural dream.
“Of course the farmhouse was lovely but it was David’s dream now mine, And it was so remote, this valley of ours. The nearest house was half a mile away, another farm. We weren’t even on the edge of a village…..”
There are many things to like about this book, its rural setting and some of the mentions of the animals were amusing. Some of what the children came out with was outright rude towards their mother, but funny at the same time. There is some deceit as well as at least 3 potential men that Molly could become involved with.
We learn about why David, her husband insisted on moving to Herefordshire, which gave a lot of vital background information…..
Booktrailer Review
It has been a while since I last read a Catherine Alliott, which is something I do need to rectify, as I do tend to enjoy her books. This latest release About Last Night was no exception.
It was the whole story around the inheritance that is what interested me most about this book. It is not straightforward, its a distant relative that Molly wasn’t aware of, and there are people living in the house already. She wants to do the right thing but even that isn’t as simple as it seems, any everyone and their dog appears to have an opinion on it.
About Last Night was just an enjoyable story, that kept me entertained and reminded me that I really enjoy the authors work.
