As regular readers of Linda’s Book Bag will know, I’ve found 2024 somewhat challenging and I haven’t been taking on blog tours or very much new blog material, but with Sue Moorcroft one of my favourite authors I simply had to participate in this blog tour to celebrate Sue’s 25 novels. That’s quite some milestone. My huge thanks to Rachel of Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me to participate in this tour today.

Why is Sue such a personal favourite? Every one of her books that I’ve read is imbued with a vivid and authentic sense of place. She writes with an evocative voice that draws in the reader and each of her characters feels real and relatable. Sue’s plots often have moral or ethical dilemmas that illustrate that life isn’t simply straightforward with a happy every after ending. I suppose I’d define Sue’s books as real. They draw me in and keep me hooked.

You’ll find my reviews of other of Sue’s books, along with interviews and features including Sue here on the blog.

I’ll be reviewing Sue’s latest book A Skye Full of Stars for My Weekly very soon and was recently thrilled to find myself quoted on the front cover of one of Sue’s foreign editions – The Danish version of The Little Village Christmas.

However, my focus today is on Sue’s A Home in the Sun which was originally published as Uphill All the Way and which had a wonderful cover makeover.

A Home in the Sun

Home is where the heart is…but what if your heart is broken?

When Judith loses her partner, she loses her life in Malta too – including the beautiful view from her sun-warmed balcony of the sparkling blue waters of Sliema Creek.

Back in England, Judith finds a spare room in her sister’s house where she grew up – but with it comes a whole host of family dramas.

Nursing a broken heart, Judith knows she must find happiness again – and rebuild her life on her own terms. Could an island in the sun be the answer she is looking for?

Ironically, A Home in the Sun is one of Sue’s books I have yet to read! You can find A Home in the Sun for purchase here.
