The Grass is Greener (Audible Audio Edition) Loretta Hill Sally Patience Wavesound Audio Books Reviews
I loved The Maxwell Sisters and was excited to find another book set in that world, even though those sisters only get a passing mention. This novel has the same women's fiction feel, rather than pure romance. I loved the best friends relationship and personal growth that was explored in this novel.
I found both Bronwyn and Claudia likable and relatable. They were both so different, but I had things in common with both of them. I enjoyed the fact that I had a few chapters in a row with each character before the POV changed, so I had time to bond and sink into the storyline before it changed.
I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Almost everybody can relate to a "grass is greener" moment or two in their lives. It seems that it is part of being human to feel envy towards a friend, relative or even stranger who has or is doing something that we want to do. In this aptly titled book best friends Bronwyn and Claudia are facing that exact dilemma. Bronwyn has a position at a prestigious law firm and a great apartment in Perth but has no passion for her career. Instead she yearns to be at her best friend Claudia's family vineyard. Meanwhile Claudia is feeling major resentment that her legal career has been stifled to keep the family business afloat and would give anything to be where Bronwyn is. Then one day they get the opportunity to make it happen.
It's not exactly a straightforward life swap. Bronwyn is treated as a guest at the vineyard rather than the manager she wants to be and Claudia has to resort to a white lie to get her foot in the door of the law firm of her dreams. There are several other conflicts along the way for Claudia and Bronwyn, with each coming across hurdles in their respective paths. But both women push through these barriers, determine to finally create the life they want.
The Grass Is Greener is written in Loretta Hill's usual warm and witty style, with a cast of well drawn characters against a backdrop of the wild and beautiful Western Australian landscape. Although a seemingly "neat" solution, the plot is plausible and the elements relating to the legal world and wine making come across as true to life. Romance also features strongly in the storyline, with seemingly unsuitable suitors for both women appearing to complicate things a little further. Themes of family estrangement, loyalty, guilt, parental expectation and ultimately love and togetherness round out this satisfying story.
All in all The Grass Is Greener is an easy and enjoyable read that will leave you eagerly awaiting Loretta Hill's next title.
Best friends Bronwyn and Claudia were finally catching up in Perth after not seeing each other for over six months. Both had been exceptionally busy; Bronwyn as a lawyer and Claudia running her father Horace’s winery which was struggling after a mixture of family problems. Claudia wanted to be a lawyer and dreamed of having a job like Bronwyn’s – Bronwyn hated her job and wanted to go to the winery, the place she had loved for the last ten years. So the two friends jokingly decided to swap places with each other…
When Claudia turned up for the interview at Hanks and Eddings in place of Bronwyn, she was thrilled to be successful. There was a slight hiccup which she didn’t correct – she was sure no one would find out anyway; would they? And Bronwyn’s arrival at Oak Hills Winery in Yallingup felt like coming home to her – Claudia’s parents and brother were happy about her visit, until they understood she was taking Claudia’s position and would be there much longer than just a few days…
Claudia’s new boss was the enigmatic Sebastian Rowlands – a harsh critic, he was cynical and a task master. But Claudia revelled in the work. Bronwyn’s teenage love for Jack Franklin, Claudia’s other brother had been quashed five years previously when disaster struck and Jack left Australia for France. Still estranged, the family was struggling; could Bronwyn bring the winery back to the way it was many years previously?
I loved The Grass is Greener by Aussie author Loretta Hill. A nice mixture of suspense (I loved Elsa!), intrigue and romance, the loyalty of best friends and of finding your own way. There was also mention of the Maxwell family, both Phoebe and father John (of The Maxwell Sisters) as their winery was next door. It felt like catching up with old friends…
This quote especially took my eye ‘So, what you’re really saying is, the grass is greener on the other side, but only if you water it.’ Sums the saying up nicely I think. I have no hesitation in highly recommending The Grass is Greener – another classic by this author!
Really enjoyable read. Great characters.
Not a bad read but not as good as some of you books
Loved the book. I would recommend it to anybody. Also loved the Maxwell Sisters
