Charleston by Margaret Bradham Thornton. HarperCollins, 2014.When Eliza Poinsett visits her home in the South after college and a dream stint in London that includes art and a dashingly handsome Etonian, it's been ten years. Her old flame, Henry, awaits. "Will she?" or "Won't she?" stay and reconcile with her past?
While this could be the plot of a fluffy romance, this fiction debut is a real heart breaker! The lush descriptions of the South are gorgeous and worthy of armchair travel. The slowly paced plot allows for enjoyment of both settings and actions. Readers will root for Eliza and her quirky neighbors and friends as they learn to appreciate every single minute of Life itself. All will be resolved, but probably not in the way that readers expect!
