Ginny has gone to live with her brother and his wife, she is moving from the city to the countryside. Her life is going to be completely turned upside down - will she be able to get used to it? Her sister-in-law doubts very much that Ginny will ever find herself a husband! Ginny is determined to do whatever she can to become useful, and then the fires came.


This is an intriguing story that has some facts about the land and the Polish settlers and how everybody just simply got on with the ways of life.


Ginny's discomfort is completely understandable she isn't used to any of the situations she's been plunged into but she adapts well.


Some of the book is heart-breaking and you feel those emotions whirling through you.


When I first started reading this book I was rather apprehensive as to whether I would enjoy it or not, I'm glad I pursued and finished it otherwise I would have missed out on a beautiful tale.


A recommended read

From high school debate team to a super star character I feel like this story has it all. Adanna Nkwachi is living up to her parents dreams by choosing one of their approved professions. She is top tier debater on her way to going to law school, but things begin to change as she learns more about why her brother left and living his dreams as a poet.

All while this is going on her cousin Genny is getting married to Afrobeats superstar Skeleboy. This story has a lot going on and def has range from hs debate to wedding preparations. TBH I was sucked in by the wedding aspect of it all since I just finished the book Destination Wedding by Diksha Basu. I love the excitement of love birds and the drama that goes into making the wedding happen. There is always some tea and I am here for it. The cherry on top was the groom is a famous singer which was something different that gives off JLOs Let's get married vibez <3 <3 <3
