Eve has always loved antiques.

She loves the way an item from the past can offer a glimpse of another world, of another time. It’s why she painstakingly researches the stories behind every item in Rainy Day Antiques, her little Cambridge shop, to share with their new owners. It’s her way of honouring the past and cherishing the present.

Adam is firmly focussed on the future.

He’s only in town to sort his late grandfather’s affairs. When he discovers that his grandfather hired Eve to manage his house clearance, he can only hope her methods don’t delay his return to London.

What neither of them know is that Adam’s grandfather chose Eve for a reason. It’s finally the right place and the right time for the two of them to meet. But what did he have planned for them?

My Thoughts:

I could not wait to start reading this book, I love Ali’s writing, and this book was brilliant. It is all about Eve who owns Rainy Day Antiques, she loves her shop, but the unique thing about Eve is that she takes pride in her shop and will research into every item she stocks in her shop. It is hard work for Eve but I found it fascinating reading about the Antique world. Ali has clearly researched into this world and it shows. Eve has a job to clear a house but she is greeted with a less than friendly man who just wants everything gone so he can go back to London and move on but Eve has other ideas, can they both help mend their ways? It was a story that made me feel warm inside, I loved Eve and how she brought to life the different items she sells. A wonderful story.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
