The Wishing Hill: A Novel

The Wishing Hill: A Novel - Holly Robinson The Wishing Hill by Holly Robinson
This book is about Juliet, a painter who comes back to Boston to care for her mother who fell and broke her hip. In the nursing home she develops an infection and that puts her back in the hospital.
Juliet's brother comes from CT to help out. Desiree, their mother was an actress and is now in her 70's.
CLaire the next door neighbor remembers Juliet and saves her from going through the icy pond. The story tells of her life and marriage.
Love what the title means and remember my daughter speaking of this same thing that happened around their house near Seattle. My grandson calls them fuzzballs. Love the link in this story about them.
Claire and Desiree have their own secret and they are not sure how Juliet will take the news...
Love the detailed descriptions of the different places and Juliet's paintings.. Especially liked hearing of the knitting for the charity-didn't see this coming!
Love the path her career takes her to, so she can freely express herself.
I received this book from Edelweiss by Penguin Group (USA) Inc.in exchange for my honest review.
