Book Review: A Delightful Read
Summary: 4 Stars
Reviewed by Charline Ratcliff for RebeccasReads (04/10)
I found "Genoa Bay" to be a delightful and charming read. The author, Bette Nordberg does a wonderful job of skillfully bringing this tale to life. She is extremely descriptive and attentive to detail without becoming boring or long-winded. While the book is fictional I do feel that many readers will be able to empathize with the story and its characters in one way or another.
The main character, Brandy Beauchamp, inherits a bed and breakfast which is located on Vancouver Island. The property is beautiful but it will require a tremendous amount of energy, commitment and tender loving care in order to return it to its former glory. Brandy is faced with a difficult choice. Should she stay in her current situation which seems to be taking her nowhere or should she take a chance on a new and previously unexpected opportunity?
Signs which seem to be telling her to go jump out at her on a regular basis and Brandy finally realizes she needs to just take a leap of faith and act on this chance. Much to the dismay of her friends and family she uproots herself and her five-year-old daughter Gabby. Together they move to British Columbia in order to take on this huge project and have a chance at a new life.
Once there though things are not as cut and dried as she originally expected them to be. There is a lot of back-breaking work to be done and she continuously wonders if she has made the right choice. It does not help that a local property developer wants to purchase the land that her bed and breakfast sits on and she is shocked by the lengths he is willing to go to in order to get what he wants.
"Genoa Bay" was a well written novel and definitely a fun read. I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages. Bette Nordberg has a fantastic writing style. Her words have the ability to remove you from your own life before they deposit you right into the pages of her book. I look forward to reading more of her works in the future.
