Another great book from Jan Ruth!
Midnight Sky is set between the UK City of Chester and the small Welsh country town of Rowen with two sisters as opposite as the towns themselves. Laura Brown is a creative interior designer with a swish city apartment and glamour stylish partner and the seeming "perfect life" her sister Maggie lives in a small country town with a workaholic slob of a husband, a feral almost 18 year-old daughter Jess and a younger autistic daughter her life seems to be stuck in limbo - she thinks life would be easier in Laura's shoes. But things are never as they seem on the surface and Laura's life quickly seems to be running away from her quicker than a high spirited Mare. So when the opportunity to renovate some rundown country cottages at the local horse ridding stud comes up she jumps at the opportunity - even if the broody owner Mr James Morgan-Jones seems to be causing more headaches for her than her partners soon-to-be ex-wife. Thrown into the mix a conniving ex, hormonal teenagers, some feisty horses and very present deceased wife and life is never boring for the Brown sisters.
This story has lots of emotional twists and turns, much like the amazing scenery Jan describes in her book. It has characters you will love and hate - ones you want to smack and hug in equal measures. I won't ruin the ending but have to save I was very happy with the ending!
