Description:
Eliza has a full house! When her three children grew up and moved out, she downsized to a smaller property… but now they’re all back. Every room in the house is taken and Eliza finds herself sharing her bed with her eldest daughter and her daughter’s pug. Combined with the online course she’s trying to finish, plus her job to fit in, there just isn’t the peace and quiet that Eliza needs.
So when an ad pops up on her laptop saying ‘house-sitters wanted’, Eliza can’t resist the chance to escape. She ends up moving to a rural finca in southern Spain, looking after the owner’s Iberico pigs, learning about secret gastronomic societies… and finding a new zest for life and love along the way.

Why We Liked It
No holiday reading list would be complete without a Jo Thomas novel, and once again Jo transports us to another gorgeous holiday destination. This time taking us to Spain, Jo sets the scene and creates the atmosphere with her evocative descriptions of the Spanish countryside and the delicious Spanish food.
Add in a local mystery, an unexpected romance and a dynamic cast of characters and you have a wonderfully escapist summer read.
Highly Recommended!
