A sequel to a book I'd really enjoyed by a favourite author meant that there was never much chance I wouldn't enjoy _Love Lane_ by Patrick Gale and it was indeed a really good read. It's now the 1950s and Harry Cane from the previous novel _A Place Called Winter_ returns from Canada to visit the daughter he left in England when he went to farm on the prairies. Cane was based on one of Gale's own great-something grandfathers and this is a fictionalised family memoir that leaves you wondering how much was made up. The small details absolutely nail the era and fortunately the author has written enough articles about his family over the years that you can find out the bigger details are pretty plausible. Excellent storytelling. 📚😃 And another book read for my #SummerReadingChallenge https://nocto.com/books/love-lane/ #Bookstodon #books #BookReview
