Windfallen, by the author of Me Before You, engages the reader immediately. Set in an Art Deco home aptly named Arcadia overlooking the ocean in the small village of Merham, the story encompasses two romances 40 years apart. Lottie and Daisy and other carefully drawn characters representing nearly all levels of British society display the many faces of love, from passion, devotion, and responsibility to despair, disappointment, and resignation. Read it; you’ll love it!
