Sunshine And Sweet Peas In Nightingale Square by Heidi Swain is a delightful contemporary feel-good novel that celebrates community and friendship.

The reader is in for a real treat as we ‘feel’ included in the welcome in Nightingale Square. There is an eclectic mix of characters with huge hearts and a sense of community. The characters work together to meet needs.

Nightingale Square is a place where wounds are healed as hearts begin to bloom again. From babies to octogenarians, Nightingale Square is multi-generational. It is a place where people discover what is really important – and that is people.

We all have a history and a longing to know where we come from. As homes and gardens are lovingly tended and bought back to life, we can see this as a motif for people’s lives – with love and care lives that were dormant begin to breathe again.

Sunshine And Sweet Peas In Nightingale Square was absolutely delightful and has left me smiling. Heidi Swain is a new author to me but I intend to read more by her.
