The House that Florence Left by Chris Penhall

Could an unlikely inheritance be the secret to Bella’s happiness?

Bella Cresswell likes her life organized. But when she inherits her great-aunt Florence’s house in the Algarve, her life gets decidedly disorganized.
Bella flies to Portugal hoping for a quick sale. Except there’s a clause in Florence’s will stopping her. Before she can sell the house, Bella must ‘make it better’.
As she tries to fix-up the dilapidated property Bella finds herself caught up in the charm of the gorgeous Portuguese village. She meets the eccentric and friendly locals — including a pair of storks, Harry and Sally, who have taken up residence on her roof. Not to mention her handsome, yet mysterious, neighbour, Hugo.
Perhaps there was more to Florence’s wish for Bella to make it better than she first thought. And when it’s time to sell and say goodbye will Bella be able to return to her old life?

Or will she discover that some things are meant to be held onto forever?
