The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane
Autumn Leaves

The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane
Part Three – Autumn leaves
Mia Ward was amazed to inherit her great-aunt Matilda’s thatched cottage in the tiny seaside village of Little Pondale – especially as Mia didn’t know she had a great-aunt Matilda. She was equally astonished to discover she’d only inherit the place if she lives there for a year.
But it didn’t take long for Mia and her friends, Ella and Garrick to settle in. Now Mia’s mum, Lori has joined them, and they’re all enjoying village life. Mia’s keen to overcome her fear of water and with Garrick by her side, she’s confident about the future.
Until a fortune teller’s predictions give everyone cause for concern. Now Mia’s not so sure of anything, except that someone still wants her to leave. That makes her more determined to learn all she can about Matilda – and the codicil.
But as the mists roll in over the sea, are autumn winds making passions cool? And when more than one unexpected visitor gives Mia a shocking surprise, is everything about to change?
My Review
It was lovely to visit The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane again and get to know all the familiar characters even more. I strongly recommend that the books are read in order to get the full benefit of Emily Harvale’s wonderful storytelling.
The book starts exactly where we left it, just after everyone has their fortune taken at the village fete. Some characters are over the moon with the predictions, others preferring to keep their fortunes quiet.
Mia is still living in her cottage with friends Ella and Garrick. Mum Lori comes for a visit and there are plenty of laughs along the way.
We find out more about secretive Great Aunt Matty who left the cottage to Mia, and as one mystery is solved, another crops up to keep us guessing. There is an interesting twist that I wasn’t expecting and all the characters are engaged in their own subplots.
I shall be looking forward to the next installment to see what happens to Mia and the other residents of Little Pond Lane
This is part three of The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane series (Autumn Leaves).
