The Turning Point by bestselling British author Freya North (Wikipedia) is her standalone contemporary literary fiction personal/family drama novel with f/m romantic elements, taking place between England and British Columbia, centred around a slow-developing long-distance relationship between a Canadian musician and a British children's author, both single parents who meet by chance and discover they have a connection, the exploration of which will affect themselves and their families in unexpected ways, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher HarperCollins's uncollinated Harper imprint.
One of the editorial reviews notes that while this has love story elements, it also eschews a traditional HEA ending and hints that it may be a tearjerker*. YMMV. Also, you can watch a video interview with the author about this book over at the BBC, if you're interested. Currently free @ Amazon UK & iTunes UK & Google Play & Kobo (available to UK & also Japan (via iTunes) when I spot-checked assorted regional stores, YMMV) Description A Sunday TImes bestseller and word-of-mouth sensation, this beautifully written novel is moving, life-affirming and one you will never forget. Two single parents, Frankie and Scott, meet unexpectedly. Their homes are far apart: Frankie lives with her children on the North Norfolk coast, Scott in the mountains of British Columbia. Yet though thousands of miles divide them, a million little things connect them. A spark ignites, a recognition so strong that it dares them to take a risk. For two families, life is about to change. But no-one anticipates the way in which it will be turned on its head forever. * If you are actually from BC or have visited the areas in question (questionable areas?), you may find this tear-provoking for other reasons. Kamloops area, “immaculate”, ahahaha… ETA: Ooh, 10666th post! Number of the Beast and All That. ![]() Last edited by ATDrake; 05-12-2017 at 04:06 PM. |
