I LOVE Eva Scott’s rural romances, I was ecstatic when I received an early copy of Home to Echidna Lane in the mail. I immediately settled on in and devoured it. It’s not just the armchair travel (I’m yet to travel to Tasmania, but am definitely going now I’ve read this novel) and it’s not just the characters (although Lacey Cane and Shane; perfect) it’s not even just the beautiful imagery I’ve come to expect from a Eva Scott novel. It’s the vibe to quote a 90s movie I’m yet to see reflected back through an Eva Scott rural romance (although yes please…) this is such a comfort read; warm, wise and witty! I absolutely loved it. I also have to say, I love that this was a romance between older people, people with pasts, kids and baggage.. first love isn’t the only love, and I loved seeing that reflected on the page.
