Reader review ★★★★★ 'I feel like I know these characters as friends, and I will miss them now the story is over' Reader review ★★★★★ Can a pair of later-in-life lovebirds find their way to one another along the cobbled streets of Oxford? Everyone at St Peter’s College adores Reverend Clara Bennett’s speeches, but none more than chorist, Tom Hartley. When Clara speaks to her congregation about seizing every opportunity for happiness, Tom plucks up the courage to ask her out on a date. By some miracle, she says yes. As they picnic in daisy-strewn meadows and punt down the river Cherwell, sparks fly between the pair. But when a secret from Tom’s past threatens to resurface at the same time that Clara is offered a job in Cambridge, the strength of their connection is put to the test. Can Tom prevent his past from threatening his future? Or will Clara be pushed away from her beloved Oxford forever? This charming, Oxford-set romance about faith and finding love where you least expect it is perfect for fans of Sue Moorcroft, Cressida McLaughlin and Philippa Ashley. 'Such a heartwarming read' Reader review ★★★★★ 'You just read and escape' Reader review ★★★★★
