The Beginning of Everything by Jackie Fraser

 

Jess has run away from a domestic situation and leaves nearly everything she owns behind. Her journey takes her to Wales, where she takes refuge in her small tent in a cemetery. The ele

ments are harsh, and Jess finds an empty house with electricity still on and she respectfully moves in.  All is well, until the owner of the house finds her.

Her discovery, and the kindness of the owner result in Jess finding an unaccountable friendship and happiness, as together they restore the house. Jess and Gethins’ friendship is exactly what each needs to heal from their past relationships, and their self-doubt keeps the pages turning.  An utterly charming book, though you will find yourself wanting them to get on with it!

The book will be published September 26, 2023, by Random House. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.
