Walking on sunshine by Heidi Swain - Book Review



I was thrilled to be offered the opportunity from the publisher Simon & Schulster UK, to read and review "Walking on sunshine" by Heidi Swain, one of my favourite authors.


Previously, books written by Heidi Swain are based in Norfolk, but this book has jumped the county lines into Suffolk. It features a village called "Willowell", where the main character, Tilly used to spend childhood summer holidays with her Dad and brother.


Tilly returns to Willowell to scatter the her Father's ashes, which brings back many memories of her halcyon summers, especially the fields by the river and her dream house "Fernside".  On her journey to Willowell she meets James, her "Meet Cute" who rescues her hat.


Tilly is at a crossroads in her life, she has given up the job that she hates, handed in her notice on the flat share and has the seeds of a business idea she would like to grow.  She spots a "For Sale" sign for Willowell woods that would be the perfect location for her new venture.


Life takes a turn when Tilly meets the owner of the woods, Constance" who can make Tilly's dreams come true.  But things like a love life can get in the way of Tilly'a plans.


I really enjoyed reading "Walking on sunshine".  The writing flows beautifully, allowing the reader to visualise everything.  In my opinion, this book is a must read and is available to pre-order on Amazon or purchase in the shops from 23rd April 2026.
