The Newcomer by Fern Britton My rating: 5 of 5 stars Welcome to the idyllic Cornish village of Pendruggan where at the start of the story we wave farewell to parish vicar Simon who is off to Brazil with wife Penny, and we say hello to new vicar Angela, her husband Robert, daughter Faith and Aunt Marnie. Immersing herself in the community, Angela is shocked when she receives a poison pen letter, but as more letters arrive, she starts to look differently at her friends and neighbours. Who could be doing such a hurtful thing? Although I liked all the characters in this book, Marnie completely and utterly stole my heart, she was larger than life, and had some wonderful tales to tell. It was also lovely to revisit some familiar faces from Fern’s previous book The Postcard. This was a gorgeous story which contained lots of laughs, and a moment which made me choke back tears. Fern Britton is a beautiful storyteller weaving gold out of the words she spins on
