About this ebook

Millie Appleby, a farmer’s daughter, hopes to make a positive difference by becoming a surgeon. While working towards her goal, a devastating break-up with her first love Giles, threatens to derail her. When at eighteen, she swaps her sleepy Sussex village life for the bright lights of London to study medicine, she attracts the attention of the very suave and sophisticated Zane, who has so much to offer.


Returning home for the holidays, Millie meets musician and former recording artist Ben, but his unconventional past sounds alarm bells for those around her. As the weeks, months and years go by, several unexpected revelations throw Millie into an emotional turmoil, struggling to decide who to choose, what to believe, and in the end, whether she is able to trust again.


From the author of ‘A Year at Marshywood,’ comes another classic tale of love and loss, longing and laughter. Once again, Marina McLune’s unique style offers up a generous sprinkling of musical nostalgia, natural world beauty and cultural references from days gone by.


It’s time to head back to the 1980s!*


This tender, unashamedly romantic and beautifully written story keeps you guessing right through to the end. Although touching on some hard-hitting subjects, A Visit to Stoneybrook is both positive and optimistic, and its Christian message and many pop song references will hopefully bring you joy.


* Although A Year at Marshywood sets the backdrop to this novel, A Visit to Stoneybrook is a standalone sequel and may be enjoyed on its own.
