January: Ellie and the Harp Maker by Hazel Prior

Happy New Year!

I hope the holiday season treated you all well! After having to cancel December’s, I’m extra excited to see everyone this month.

This month we are reading Ellie and the Harp Maker by Hazel Prior. This was a member recommendation and I’m looking forward to starting it.

The synopsis for this book is posted below.

Please join us at the Brewhouse and Kitchen in Cheltenham for a chat about this book! I will have some guiding questions for us, but please come with any of your own. What did you like? What did you not like/bothered you? Was it too steamy for you or not steamy enough?

Synopsis:

Sometimes it takes a chance encounter to discover what happiness really is . . .

Meet Dan: Dan needs peace and order. He likes perfectly triangular sandwiches, the way coffee smells of sunshine and harvest, and the sound of birdsong that drifts into his harp-making workshop on Exmoor. His life is quiet, predictable, and safe from any danger of surprises.

Meet Ellie: Ellie is a dreamer. But recently Ellie has stopped dreaming and her world has become very small. Her days are spent keeping a perfect home for her husband, Clive, and trying to keep him happy.

When Ellie stumbles across Dan's workshop, they cannot imagine that their lives are about to change forever...
