It Could Happen to You by Isla Dewar
An enchanting novel about realising that journeys of discovery don't always have to be to far-flung places
You'll love this enchanting, touchy-feely fairy tale of small-town Scottish life * Options *
This is something very special indeedA delightful read, equally enjoyed by my teenage and middle-aged reader. Dewar wrote GIVING UP ON ORDINARY, which was a joy, but this is better and deserves to increase her sales. It is astute, poignant and addictive, with shades of Kate Atkinson, and is full of lovely observations on human nature. She cares for her characters and so do we. Highly recommended * Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller *
Dewar's gift is to pull you into the minutiae of her people's lives. She takes you on a journey with them, a voyage you are happy to share in. Few writers are so good at making the reader empathise... Rowan is a delight * Scotland on Sunday *
