The Long Walk Home

At first glance, The Long Walk Home by Will North has the possibility of being a sappy melodrama in the vein of Nicholas Sparks. Luckily, strong writing and a deep insight into the characters feelings and psyche make it a far cry from a Nicholas Sparks novel.

The story takes place in North Wales and the descriptions of the landscape made me want to plan a vacation. Fiona runs a B&B in a small village on the hill her husband has farmed for years. When a handsome stranger arrives at Fiona's B&B, she feels an instant connection and begins to examine her relationship with her husband.

I recommend The Long Walk Home if you are looking for a sweet, romantic story.
