It was a very enjoyable read and I will seek out more of Rachel Hore’s books.Īfter years as a touring musician, Fran Morrison returns home to London after her father's sudden stroke. Since I adore stained glass and singing, this appealed to me. How you respond to this book I suspect will depend a lot on your interests. Of course I admit I have a fascination for stained glass, so all the little titbits about creating windows etc was interesting as was the differing reactions of people to changes in St Martin’s Choir which along with Jo, Fran joins. Laura’s father was originally vicar at St Martin’s church at the time the glass window was first installed. We read the story of the window, the lives of the Brownlow family and a love story from the past through Laura’s journal.
It is also the story of an old broken glass window of an angel and how it originally came to be. She also meets the enigmatic Ben who is the organist for St Martin’s church and choir leader and Zac, the craftsman in her father’s shop as well as Amber, a young girl who despite her hard life has an unwavering faith in angels. Back home, Fran renews her friendship with Jo a social worker. Theirs is a relationship fraught with silence and misunderstandings resulting from the death of Fran’s mother when she was a small child. I was happy to settle down with this story of Fran who has come home suddenly, putting on hold for a time her musical career to care for her ill father, owner of Minster Glass.
It moves along as gentle as a beautiful song. This is isn’t a compelling, fast read, page tuner but it is a charming and extremely readable story that had me from the beginning. What I read wasn't an E book but a paperback with this cover.I love it when I find a new author to read and this looks to be the case with Rachel Hore.
