Best friends Bronwyn and Claudia were finally catching up in Perth after not seeing each other for over six months. Both had been exceptionally busy; Bronwyn as a lawyer and Claudia running her father Horaceâs winery which was struggling after a mixture of family problems. Claudia wanted to be a lawyer and dreamed of having a job like Bronwynâs â Bronwyn hated her job and wanted to go to the winery, the place she had loved for the last ten years. So the two friends jokingly decided to swap places with each otherâ
When Claudia turned up for the interview at Hanks and Eddings in place of Bronwyn, she was thrilled to be successful. There was a slight hiccup which she didnât correct â she was sure no one would find out anyway; would they? And Bronwynâs arrival at Oak Hills Winery in Yallingup felt like coming home to her â Claudiaâs parents and brother were happy about her visit, until they understood she was taking Claudiaâs position and would be there much longer than just a few daysâ
Claudiaâs new boss was the enigmatic Sebastian Rowlands â a harsh critic, he was cynical and a task master. But Claudia revelled in the work. Bronwynâs teenage love for Jack Franklin, Claudiaâs other brother had been quashed five years previously when disaster struck and Jack left Australia for France. Still estranged, the family was struggling; could Bronwyn bring the winery back to the way it was many years previously?
I loved The Grass is Greener by Aussie author Loretta Hill. A nice mixture of suspense (I loved Elsa!), intrigue and romance, the loyalty of best friends and of finding your own way. There was also mention of the Maxwell family, both Phoebe and father John (of The Maxwell Sisters) as their winery was next door. It felt like catching up with old friendsâ
This quote especially took my eye: âSo, what youâre really saying is, the grass is greener on the other side, but only if you water it.â Sums the saying up nicely I think. I have no hesitation in highly recommending The Grass is Greener â another classic by this author!
Warm and Witty Read
Almost everybody can relate to a "grass is greener" moment or two in their lives. It seems that it is part of being human to feel envy towards a friend, relative or even stranger who has or is doing something that we want to do. In this aptly titled book best friends Bronwyn and Claudia are facing that exact dilemma.
