Kookaburra Cottage is set in the wine region of rural South Australia. I love that Maya Linnell showcases different types of agriculture in her books, such as wineries, horticulture and floriculture.
April hopes to bring the tired looking winery up to date but is facing resistance from her father. She decides to start on the old cottage turning it into a B&B.
Connor Jamison has arrived from England to learn all he can from Australian wine makers and secures a job at Lacewing Estate.
Kookaburra Cottage is a gorgeous heart-warming story filled with the most fabulous characters. I loved the fun of the baking disasters and the cooking classes taken by April and Connor. The lead up to the Penwarra Show and all the events of the day were a delightful part of the story.
There are ups and downs for April and Connor to work through and a disastrous event that has everyone pitching in to help out.
Both April and Connor have old hurts to overcome. Can they let go of their past to start over again?
Kookaburra Cottage is a heart-warming story filled with sweet country charm, perfect to sit back, relax and immerse yourself in rural South Australia's wine country.
Kookaburra Cottage would have to be my favourite of all Maya Linnell's novels.
