Heather reviewed House in the Clouds by Victoria Connelly
Review of 'House in the Clouds' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Iabsolutely loved this book. Two strangers bid on a huge mansion in the English countryside. Several months later, once he realizes how much it is going to cost him to repair this house and just after finding out that he’s lost his job, the winning bidder reaches out to the underbidder to suggest a deal. They will split the house and grounds. Each is free to do what they want with their portion of the estate.
Edward and Abigail couldn’t be more different. He is in finance and likes things to be neat and tidy. She’s an artist who parlayed some doodles into a hugely successful housewares company. She’s just sold her company and isn’t sure what she is going to do next. They are both drawn to the house though. They are also both dealing with some unresolved family trauma.
This is the first book in a planned trilogy …

This is the first book in a planned trilogy so not a lot is resolved at the end of this book. This book seems to be setting up the obstacles that are going to be faced in the future books. I would still recommend it though. It was quite an enjoyable read for a summer’s day. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.
