Here we are on the outskirts of Bristol for a visit to the countryside with Fay Keenan<\/b>. A Sky Full of Stars<\/i> is published today by Boldwood Books <\/b>on March 18th.<\/span><\/p>\n


Charlotte James prefers having her head in the stars to
\nhaving her feet on the ground.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Moving around for her job as an astronomical archivist gives
\nCharlotte plenty of opportunity to avoid putting down roots. When she accepts a
\npost in the idyllic Somerset village of Lower Brambleton to archive an old
\nobservatory before its demolition, all that is on her mind is a chance to
\npreserve the treasures of this remarkable place and another summer without
\nhaving to settle down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tristan Ashcombe is managing the development of Observatory
\nField and as far as he\u2019s concerned, the sooner the observatory is razed to the
\nground the better. The building holds complicated memories for him and his
\nfamily, memories he\u2019s ready to put behind him.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as Charlotte\u2019s work begins to unravel mysteries from a
\ncomplex past, she realises that there\u2019s more to Tristan and Lower Brambleton
\nthan first impressions would suggest. Will Charlotte discover more than she
\nbargained for, will she manage to avoid losing her heart in the process or is
\nher fate already written in the stars?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is an enjoyable escapist read with\u00a0 the central character,
Charlotte removed from her usual life in the city of Bristol and settled in the countryside for the summer away from all her familiar sights and friends. Her life as an archivist means that she enjoys working alone and is looking forward to this the first of her solo jobs. Employed to archive all the paperwork from an now ruined Observation Tower, she finds a mystery within the paperwork which she is compelled to follow.\u00a0 Charlotte takes to village life and finds herself making new friendships.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Tristan Ashcombe , who Charlotte meets early in the story, turns out to be a very complicated character with a family connection to the Observation Tower Charlotte is working in. Charlotte is staying in the annexe to his grandmother’s bungalow, a feisty and sharp lady who Charlotte strikes up a friendship with. I also enjoyed getting to know Charlotte’s little cocker spaniel, a mischievous but lovable scamp who plays a part in the story. This is an entertaining story which turns up a few surprises and introduces some warm and likeable characters.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In short:\u00a0 <\/i>romance and mystery<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
