Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I wish these fictional shops with their enchanting windows and intriguing owners would pop up on my local high street! Lovely.
I really enjoyed this book .It made me want to go to the town, to see the toy train set in the toyshop and buy flowers at the flower shop. A gentle but satisfying read .
An enjoyable and cosy read in a familiar setting with a ‘Thursday Murder Club’ vibe. I’m half expecting to bump into these characters on our high street! Looking forward to the sequel.
A well written and cohesive read with interesting characters. A successful and interesting first book. Looking forward to the next book already.
I loved Anni's first book. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and how their lives joined together. It was well written, and it kept you just wanting to keep reading to know what happens next in the characters lives. Look forward to the next book!
Windows is a celebration of the High Street, small-town life and the hard-working and dedicated shopkeepers, public servants and other people who work to keep that life going. It’s a funny and poignant portrayal of human nature and its many frailties and strengths, including love, hate, loyalty, ambition, determination, error and redemption. A key theme is the human tendency to rush to conclusions about others which can later prove to be wrong.
It’s also a celebration of family, community, childhood and play, books and the joy of reading, and the beauty of the Scottish landscape.
The apparent idyll in which it is set is, however, in danger from an unknown person secretly bent on revenge, threatening the inhabitants’ lives and livelihoods and the very fabric of the town itself. Will they realise the danger in time or will the threat strike and, if so, when, how, where and on whom? Will the townspeople escape it and, if not, will they survive and how will they put their shattered lives and town back together again?
