I love the characters and the whimsical story. The book is well balanced with all the right elements for a perfect read. Ellie Jacobs has a bucket list before she reaches 40. On one of her walk, she discovers a harp barn owned by Dan a harpmaker. It just happened that one item on her bucket list is to learn to play the harp.

This will be the start of a Ellie’s internal dilemma and her friendship with Dan. .

📚 CURRENTLY READING: Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior . 💁🏼‍ I am currently reading this whimsical book. Keep an eye for my book review soon. . ✏️ Synopsis: In the rolling hills of beautiful Exmoor, there’s a barn. And in that barn, you’ll find Dan. He’s a maker of exquisite harps - but not a great maker of conversation. He’s content in his own company, quietly working and away from social situations that he doesn’t always get right. . But one day, a cherry-socked woman stumbles across his barn and the conversation flows a little more easily than usual. She says her name’s Ellie, a housewife, alone, out on her daily walk and, though she doesn’t say this, she looks sad. He wants to make her feel better, so he gives her one of his harps, made of cherry wood. . And before they know it, this simple act of kindness puts them on the path to friendship, big secrets, pet pheasants and, most importantly, true love. . 🙋🏼‍️ Thank you, Berkley Publishing for sending me an ARC of this exciting book. Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior is available at your favourite bookstore. . ☕ QOTD: s there any art or artist you are really into? . . #dogsandbooks #poodles #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #poodletoday #pawsandbooks #petsandbooks #poodlesandbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #book #books #booklover #bookish #bookdragon #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookaddicted #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #ellieandtheharpmaker #hazelprior #currentlyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_DSo3A_jS/?igshid=1i3mifjxxboxj
