Hungry Hill by Eileen Patricia Curran

 


BOOK SPOTLIGHT


HUNGRY HILL by Eileen Patricia Curran is a debut novel that looks perfect not just for my Summer Reading challenge, but also as a bookclub pick. ⁠#hungryhill  #debutnovel

I'll be reading it next.⁠⁠

⬇️ Synopsis:⁠⁠

Grace Cavanaugh is intelligent, kind - and a bit of a wise ass. Lately, though, she's also something else: completely lost and just a little crazy. Her entire world has collapsed since Valentine's Day, when her husband, Michael, died unexpectedly after a romantic dinner celebrating their devotion. With her world turned upside down, she abandons the couple's gorgeous Victorian mansion and retreats to a cramped apartment with their three dogs in tow. Living in misery, barely finding energy to walk the dogs, Grace succumbs to her sorrow.⁠⁠

Just as she hits bottom, a relative she hasn't seen in years calls out of the blue. Maggie Reilly, her eighty-six-year-old great aunt who still lives in the house she was born in, has troubles of her own. She desperately needs a family member to take care of her, so she reaches out to Grace hoping the bond they shared decades ago remains strong enough to bring her great niece back home.⁠⁠

Hungry Hill is a story navigating the complexities of love in its many forms and how it endures. It explores our desire to belong to each other and to live a life of connectedness. It also reminds us to keep our sense of humor no matter what life brings, and to never underestimate the power of a great pair of shoes.
