LoveReading Says
If you’ve been following Jenny Colgan’s Mure Island series, you’re in for a heart-warming homecoming — a welcome return to the beating heart of a remote community and its lively cast of relatable characters. It’s funny, it’s breezy, it’s a blast of cheering escapism, with love and all its complications running through its veins.
With no fewer than three weddings on the cards, An Island Wedding, the fifth novel in the series, offers dedicated fans a prime seat at the top table. But fear not if this is your first visit to Mure Island – the book begins with a funny reprise to welcome readers into its world, “whether you’ve just joined us (welcome!) or whether you have just finished reading all the others”.
At last, Joel and Flora are to be married, but their plans are somewhat disrupted when Jan’s beautiful sister Olivia wants to return to the island to marry her super-wealthy husband. With Olivia intending to have the mother of all weddings, long-held sibling rivalries simmer and rise to the surface. Meanwhile, headmistress Lorna and her secret lover Saif, the local GP, are struggling to keep their relationship under wraps for the sake of his sons, “little boys, who had been through hell, who had lost so much”. At the same time, Saif learns he can apply for a five-year visa, and eventually apply to become a UK citizen.
All these winding roads lead to one place, on one summer’s night, by which time readers will feel very much part of the Mure community, and these big occasions.
