Merham the 50s, a seaside resort in England after the war. Lottie was collected during the London bombings by a bourgeois family Merham, Holden. They have a daughter her age, Celia Lottie and raise as their own daughter. One summer, the two friends get to know the new occupants a bit of a bohemian art deco villa on the coast, Arcadia. A story of friendship develops between Lottie and Adeline, the owner of the Arcadia House. But when Celia has her fiance to the entire family, this little world is turned upside down ...
I loved "The Brides of the Pacific", I have not been disappointed by "Arcadia Hotel" (despite some lengths). Jojo Moyes knows to take us in his history; it is a pro-romantic novel (without being ass-ass).
