Today I am delighted to be sharing my review for Fox Halt Farm by Celia Moore. My huge thanks to Rachel for the invite and also to Celia for my e-copy of the book. Have a look at the end of my post, to enter the Giveaway to stand a chance to win a Gift Voucher.

Opening on a cliff edge, Billy finds herself alone and betrayed. She believes everyone and everything she loves is threatened. Richard’s world is aglow with wealth, love and unswerving family loyalty but then his perfect life crosses Billy’s. He could save Billy, her beloved dairy cows and Fox Halt Farm but this young woman isn’t in the mood to be rescued.

Nothing will stay the same. Should they trust each other? Will their secrets tear their lives apart?

Fox Halt Farm is hard to put down. The story cracks along and you are caught up in Celia Moore’s vivid storytelling from the start.  If you love novels by Jill Mansell, Fiona Valpy, Lucinda Riley, Maeve Binchy and Danielle Steel you will love this novel too!

Thi story took me a few chapters to get into, but once I got to understand the timeline and to recognise characters I suddenly found myslef hooked. This was a book that I read over a couple of evenings, the second evening involved me telling myself “just one more chapter”, well this continued until I had finished the book just before 1am.

THe story is of Billy and just to clarify, Billy is a female with the masculine spelling of her name and an explanation is given in the story as to why. So Billy makes quite a shocking and startling introduction to the story. The story unfolds over several years, and over the course of the book I got to know Billy, her family, especially her Mum and her friends.

The story revolves around Fox Halt Farm, its visitors and the journeys made to and from the farm by various people, for various reason over the years. These people are part of Billy’s life in different ways. Troubles, disasters and heartbreak make up part of the story, also other aspects of hopes, the future and also family and friends brought many other things that I really enjoyed

The book also has a few other tricks up it’s sleeve, a story about life never being simple or straight forward, with many twists and turns and unexpected dramas unfolding. It shows that despite many knock downs, it is possible to get back up even though sometimes it can take a lot longer to get up and that sometimes you need help.

This was a wonderful read that, once I got to grips with, I just flew through. A nicely paced story with some really interesting characters. It is one I would recommend to other readers and I am looking forward to the next book by this author.

Celia Moore (1967-now) grew up on a small farm near Exeter. She had a successful career as a Chartered Surveyor working in the City of London before working her way back to Devon. In 2000, she left the office to start a new adventure as an outdoor instructor, teaching rock climbing and mountaineering. Today she gardens for a few lovely customers, runs and writes (accompanied at all times by a border terrier x jack russell called Tizzy). She is running the London Marathon in April 2019 for three cancer charities.
