From the author of The Coastguard's House Darling Island comes the next instalment in the tale of Jane Le Romancer and her adventure with a house swap by the sea. For Jane, everything is looking on the rather lovely side of rosy. Her new beau Oscar is proving to be fabulous and her once beige life is no longer quite as small – in fact, it’s growing every which way she turns. As Jane settles nicely into her relationship with Oscar and falls not only in love with him but with Darling Island too, she wonders what the next few months will bring. She starts to ponder where her life is going and whether she could, indeed, stay put on Darling for a while, but when someone close is not quite as they seem, Jane starts to question many things. As the conundrum engulfs her in a sea of concerns, she actually begins to wonder if being small wasn’t such a bad thing after all. We watch from the sidelines, looking onto the cosy little island with its floating bridge, vintage trams, and heritage buildings, and cheer Jane on, as perplexed she surveys all around and wonders quite what to do. The story of Jane Le Romancer is Polly’s second Darling Island trilogy. Darling Islands follows on from her 18-book Pretty Beach series which starts with The Boat House Pretty Beach. All books and all trilogies can be read as stand-alones as they all end with a conclusion and all trilogies can be read out of order. If you want to jump in right at the beginning start with The Boat House Pretty Beach.
