I haven't adored a book in the way I adore The Wedding Cake Tree for a while. I became totally and utterly immersed in Grace's journey, and the hunky Alasdair was a wonderfully packaged bonus.
Hudson writes in the most descriptive manner that you feel like you are living and breathing the story with Grace. I found my eyes brimming with tears on more than one occasion, whilst at times my heart ached, and at other times it sung and fluttered with joy.
I loved the different locations as well - I could see them so clearly in my mind, and on occasions it felt like I was actually there.

As with all ChocLit, there are twists and turns along the way. There are elements that I guessed, but that took nothing away from my enjoyment of the book. I absolutely loved it.
A truly amazing story of living life to the full, of discovery, of loss and sadness, and what can happen if you are in the right place at the right time.
Gorgeous, simply divine.

ReplyDeleteI loved this book too and of course fell in love with Alasdair - what red-blooded woman wouldn't?
ReplyDeletePerfect timing for me to comment, as I have literally just finished reading The Wedding Cake Tree - on the train travelling last night to the RoNa Awards. What a terrific read, I loved it.
