Review: Devon and Hell – Four Seasons by the Sea: A humorous, uplifting and brilliantly written memoir

Devon and Hell – Four Seasons by the Sea: A humorous, uplifting and brilliantly written memoir by Karen Wheeler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Carrie has moved from France to Devon, she has bought the beautiful Plum Tree Cottage and is looking forward to moving in with her beloved little dog Biff…….but Rats put the kibosh on her plans….

Then she gets a call her mother has been sectioned…..and so the drama begins.

This is full of humour, hurt and chaos, it’s so funny in parts and then so emotional too.

This really struck a chord with me, as my childhood was similar and now my mother has dementia and is in a care home after breaking her hip….so I know the feelings Carrie was going through.

I loved the friendships she made, her flustered panic, flip flops and her paint dealer all brought to life by Karen Wheeler’s creative writing……lots of laughs and a few tears too. A very engaging, heartwarming read.

Thank you to Anne Cater and Random Things Tours for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour, for the promotional materials and a free copy of the book. This is my honest, unbiased review.
