You Never Know What Might Happen!



Saving Saffron Sweeting by Pauline Wiles is a great story to share.  You never know
what opportunity might come your way.   She has a witty story to share. 

Synopsis:

Grace is excited that she finally has a job for her interior design business, in the USA.  This job is decorating the bedroom of her husband’s colleague.  The only problem is this colleague has designs on Grace’s husband.   She is led to believe that they had an affair.  So back to England she goes but where to wallow? Jenna her best friend one night settles on Saffron Sweeting.  All of the sudden she finds herself with a job at an estate agency.  Grace suddenly has great opportunities that she would never have dreamed of.  Will Grace be ready?  Will her husband find her?

My Thoughts:

Saving Saffron Sweeting is a charming story full opportunity and humor.  What event might lead you to change your life?  Some of the circumstances that Grace has to deal with brings are heart breaking.  Many could identify with her circumstances. This novel might appeal to who are down on their luck especially in the job market.    This particular novel reminds me of when I was struggling with finding a job and a piece of advice my father would give me.  I feel that he and Emelia would be on the same page.  You never know what might happen? 

The story revolves around both California in the United States and England.  More specifically the village of Saffron Sweeting.  I love how the author brought in the historical significance of the village.   

The only negative for me was at times the narration of the audiobook.  Overall I enjoyed the book and would highly recommend!

Rating:

4.5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
