Cosy Cottage in Ireland: A History of How Modern Britain Was Forged

I started this series years ago and I can't get enough. I was so excited when I saw this book on Kindle I had to purchase it. It was light hearted and I couldn't put it down. I love the different countries that her characters end up in. I also love that she focuses on food. A great series! Caplan knows how to spin a good story!

This was a magical story set in Ireland with great characters and romance. Another winner from Julie Caplin. I think I've read all her books and each one was positively heartwarming.

Which pattern does your life follow - and why? Are you happy - or where you meant for something else? And if so - what can you do to get there? This is the underlying theme of all the "secret escape" books. What is their attraction?It definetely is designed to be a "feeling good" - book. Wonderful descriptions of nature and the most beautiful cities on Earth (you can enjoy it even better, if you've been, if not, you will want to after reading the books), and lot's of talking about food and cooking.But more than that: the story about someone leading a life in which they are quite content, only to realize that they could have more and discover their passion - is quite inspiring. The fact that you encounter a new version every book empasises the effect on you. Also, since all the characters interrelate somehow or other, you quickly develop an emotionally relation to the events which makes the books message "Live your best life, find your passion!" work on a deeper level. So be warned - these books are not for entertainment only - they have a magic of their own, which might just change your life.

I'm reading this boom right now, it's lovely and well written. The pages are in second hand paper.

I’m a voracious reader and these books are an absolute winner. Thoroughly enjoy Julie’s writing style and the detail she puts into so many different locations.I can’t put her books down, late nights have followed!
