An absolutely gorgeous summer tale of love and secrets Rachael Lucas

Join Sunday Times bestseller Heidi Swain in Nightingale Square for a sunshine and celebration filled summer…

Beth loves her job working in a care home, looking after its elderly residents, but she doesn’t love the cramped and dirty house-share she currently lives in. So, when she gets the opportunity to move to Nightingale Square, sharing a house with the lovely Eli, she jumps at the chance.

The community at Nightingale Square welcomes Beth with open arms, and when she needs help to organise a fundraiser for the care home they rally round. Then she discovers The Arches, a local creative arts centre, has closed and the venture to replace it needs their help too – but this opens old wounds and past secrets for Beth.

Music was always an important part of her life, but now she has closed the door on all that. Will her friends at the care home and the people of Nightingale Square help her find a way to learn to love it once more…?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The Summer Fair by Heidi Swain is praised for its feel-good nature, set in the charming fictional Nightingale Square, which evokes a sense of community and warmth. The novel, though part of a series, stands alone with its engaging narrative that partly unfolds in a care home, offering refreshing and entertaining portrayals of its elderly residents. Critics appreciate how returning to this setting brings comfort and joy, making it a delightful read full of life-affirming themes.
