Harriet

The delightful and comedic novel by a beloved classic author unfolds in the charming landscape of Yorkshire. Harriet Poole, an introverted and imaginative romantic, faced devastation when her fleeting romance with Simon Villiers, a prominent playboy student at Oxford, ended abruptly. Left financially strained, alone, and expecting a child, Harriet still harbored deep feelings for Simon. Determined to forge a new path, she relocated to the tranquil countryside of Yorkshire with her baby, William, working as a nanny for Cory Erskine's children. Cory, an eccentric scriptwriter, provided a stable environment, yet whispers among the locals began as unexpected visitors disrupted Harriet's serene life. First came Cory's estranged wife, Noel, eager to win Cory back. Then appeared Cory's charming brother, Kit, rekindling old flames with Noel while also showing interest in Harriet. To Harriet's surprise, Simon re-entered her life, adding to the chaos. Praised as 'The Jane Austen of our time' by Harpers, and celebrated as 'The funniest and sharpest writer there is' by Jenny Colgan, this story promises wit and humor intertwined with heartfelt moments.
