THE STATIONMASTER'S COTTAGE is a standalone read with a very, very happy ever after. There are no sex scenes or rough language so any age can read and enjoy. I LOVED this story. It was perfect for me. There is a family with a lot of secrets, never met relatives, a great love story, sorrow and sadness. It was the best read I have read in a while and I read a lot. Okay, there are a lot of characters. First there is Christi, then her grandmother Dorothy. Martha is Dorothy's sister. Tom is Martha's love. The setting is Australia, River's End a small community on the ocean. One street is town, everybody knows everybody and they know their business. It would be a great place to live. The story really begins in 1967.
Martha and Tom are engaged. However, there is a big misunderstanding and Martha tosses his ring back to him and runs away. She goes to Melbourne to live in the family's big home. The story then goes to current day 2016.
Christi receives word that her grandmother, Dorothy, has passed away and she is asked to attend the funeral. They were not close. Dorothy was a hard woman to be around or even to love. But Christi felt duty bound to attend since her grandmother did raise her after her parents were killed. So she goes. She discovers that gran has left her a small run down cottage on the cliffs above the ocean. She is troubled as to why she would be left the cottage when she discovers that her grandmother had a sister, Martha, and never told her about her existence. Christi had never heard of Martha and had no idea where she was and why she had never visited when she lived with her grandmother. However, she has been left a letter that explains there are secrets in the cottage. She is to discover them and give them to her sister. She is intrigued.
So she sets out to discover the riddle. In the small town some folks are quite friendly and some treat her rather rudely. She has no idea why they are acting this way. Now remember Tom lived in this town all his life. Martha had been raised in the big house, her family was quite wealthy, but they moved to the big city at one time. But everybody knows everybody's business.
She finds a box and she has the key to open it. and she does. Now if you want to know what is in the box and how she solves the story of the two lovers torn apart and lives destroyed, you will have to read the book. This was a great love story and it had a terrific ending. I LOVED it and was not expecting it. That broke my heart until the story took a big twist!! Great read and I definitely recommend it.
