Praise for Helen McGinn:

'Escapist, warm, witty and wise' Daily Mail

'This is a lovely uplifting book that transported me away, firstly to the beautiful city of Rome and then to gorgeous Cornwall. It’s a moving and emotional story of families in all their messy wonderfulness, of people losing one another, and then coming together again - sometimes in unexpected ways. A hugely enjoyable family tale, it was exactly what I wanted to read at this time' Louise Douglas

‘An uplifting, forget-about-everything-else read that I couldn’t put down. Romantic, emotional and page-turning, Helen McGinn’s debut novel can’t fail to cheer you up!' Zoe Folbigg

'I loved reading this book. I needed escapism - don't we all need escapism right now - and it gave me Rome, Cornwall and a family who immediately felt like old friends. I took it to the bath, to bed and had finished it within 24 hours. It was the perfect antidote to tough times' The Daily Telegraph

This was my introduction to the stellar word skills of Helen McGinn, and what could be better than finding the main character was a wine specialist as I specialize in drinking it. Her poignant and agile storytelling hit all the feels with humor and profound insight and somehow miraculously maintained a well-honed balance in emotional tone while raising serious family issues and intense grief without being overly dreary. I sank right into the thoughtfully crafted storylines and was ardently and empathetically present with her enticing characters as if I were sharing their air. Helen McGinn has mad skills and a new fangirl.
