Second chances and a dash of magic .
In Alba Ashby's hour of need, she finds herself on the doorstep of number 11 Hope Street, a house that has stood quietly in Cambridge for nearly two hundred years. But this is no ordinary house. Its walls are steeped in the wisdom of past residents including Virginia Woolf, Dorothy Parker and Agatha Christie. Alba accepts an invitation to stay under the condition she has ninety-nine nights, and no more, to turn her life around.
Guided by the energy of the house, where portraits come alive, bookcases refill themselves and hot chocolate has healing properties, the enchanting experience Alba and her new friends share will transform their lives in unexpected ways.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
'From the very first paragraph I was hooked . it's warm and inspiring, thoughtful, wise and if you're needing a little hope in your life just now, please do yourself a massive favour and read this book, with a mug of creamy hot chocolate and ginger snap biscuits! . the words take you all the way to Hope Street, where I think I will stay for a very long time!' Reader Review
'This is, truly, one of the very best books I have ever read. I gobbled it up in a matter of days and was so impressed by the empathy, kindness and wonder with which each and every character was treated.' Reader Review
'Oh I so didn't want this book to end, it was truly delicious!' Reader Review
'I rarely leave a 5* review unless I've really loved a book but this was one of those! It's the story of... well... a house, at the end of Hope Street, and its occupants all of whom are, or have been, in need of its magic. I usually avoid 'magic' stories like the plague but something drew me to this one... and I'm very glad about it.' Reader Review
'Beautifully written with life lessons for everyone, threaded through with a sprinkle of magic!' Reader Review
'I absolutely LOVED this, I couldn't put it down, and it's a while since a book has had that effect. A good story line and pace, which doesn't give too much away and builds nicely . I totally loved the way real life, historical people had stayed at the house.' Reader Review
'It's a sweet story, written with a deft hand and I enjoyed the twists and the development of the characters. To the author: good job and thank you!.' Reader Review
'What a lovely, gentle, original and inspiring book. If you've ever loved the wrong person . or you can't see your way ahead . or if you have a dream that you are too scared to follow, if you love literature or music, or cats or chocolate or mystery . then read this book.' Reader Review
'From the outset, the language and imagery are enchanting, and once you enter the House, you simply must uncover the stories and secrets within . There is great sadness but, thanks to Peggy and Stella, great hope too. One to read and read again I think.' Reader Review
'This is the first book in a long time that I have read in just one day. I could not put it down.' Reader Review
