Thursdays at Orange Blossom House
Sophie Green
Reviewed by Helen
This is another beautiful story from the pen of Sophie Green, beautifully written it is about friendship, discovering who you are and moving on making changes where they are needed all with the help of yoga at Orange Blossom House, this story is real and honest so beautifully written and in such a lovely location Cairns in northern Queensland, I do hope you come along for the journey and get to know Grace Maud, Patricia and Dorothy.
1993 Grace Maud is a retired cane farmer living alone in Cairns with her son Tom running the farm these day, yes her body is a bit stiff these days but is still strong when it is suggested that a bit of yoga may help her.
Patricia is a high school English teacher at the local school she lives at home caring for her aging parents as her older siblings are all too busy to help, with a shoulder that is a bit stiff another teacher suggests coming to yoga with her to help with that.
Dorothy happily married to Fredrick they run a café in town and desperately want a baby but with three miscarriages it is not looking good, should they try with help from medical procedures when Dorothy discovers yoga at Orange Blossom House.
Sandrine is French and runs her yoga classes from her home Orange Blossom House all are welcome and she seems to know each student well and can help in so many ways she teaches them breathing and poses none of which any of them ever dreamed of doing.
This story goes over two years and brings together three woman from different backgrounds they are different ages and sees them form a strong and binding friendship through yoga they learn to open up like they have never done before, leave the past behind and look to the future with happiness and joy. I loved this book from start to finish, it is emotional, fun and moving. I smiled and cheered them on through their journey of finding themselves, I do highly recommend this one, a fabulous read that is sure to leave you feeling very uplifted at the end and maybe even looking for a yoga studio. Congratulations Sophie Green on another keeper your characters are strong and so real and I loved getting to know them.
My thanks to Hachette AU for my copy to read and review.
