What a wonderful book! A Cornish Affair is a book that I felt right from the beginning that it would work for me. The opening is so amazing, Jude realizing on her own wedding day this is not what she wants. She has not had a word to say about the planning of the wedding and does she really want to marry John? So, when she sees her chance to escape is she off. What she will do now does not know, so she leaves Cape Cod for England where she and John should have moved after the wedding. But, she's now on her own. By a lucky chance, does she get a job at Pengarrock, a crumbling mansion in Cornwall. her work will be to cataloguing the library. But, life here is not that easy either...

A Cornish Affair is a charming book about finding oneself. To take a step out in the unknown and dare to follow one's heart. This is the first book I have read by Liz Fenwick and I will definitely read more of her. I loved reading about Cornwall and I really loved that the book also contained a mystery that Jude tries to solve. Now I look forward to reading The Cornish House.

Thanks to Norstedts for the review copy! ( )

Judith Warren flieht kurz vor der Trauung. Im letzten Moment wurde ihr klar, dass da etwas geschieht, das von ihr nicht gewollt ist. Dass sie damit nicht auf Verständnis stößt, ist ja wohl klar.
Um zu sich selbst zu finden, nimmt sie einen Job in Cornwall an. Als Archivarin soll sie für Petroc Trevillion seine Unterlagen katalogisieren. Pengarrock nimmt sie vom ersten Moment an gefangen. Kurz darauf stirb Petroc und sein Sohn Tristan sieht sich gezwungen, das verschuldete Anwesen zu verkaufen. Jude möchte das abwenden.
Das Buchcover vermittelt schon einen Eindruck dieser wundervollen Gegend. Aber auch im Buch wird Cornwall sehr schön beschrieben, so dass man Lust bekommt dort einen Urlaub zu verbringen.
Das Buch ist flüssig und gut zu lesen. Jude hat sich ihr Leben lang vorschreiben lassen, wie sie sich zu verhalten hat. Sie stand zeit ihres Lebens im Schatten ihrer verstorbenen Schwester Rose. Besonders ihre Mutter hat sie das spüren lassen. Nun muss sie erst mal sich selber finden. Das gelingt ihr in Cornwall, abseits von Eltern und Bekannten, sehr gut. Sie macht die Arbeit, die sie liebt und das Familiengeheimnis der Trevillions ist auch sehr interessant. Aber auch der neue Hausherr lenkt sie manchmal von ihren Aufgaben ab. Wird es ihr gelingen, dem Geheimnis auf die Spur zu kommen?
Ein unterhaltsamer Roman. ( )
