Finding Edith Pinsent by Hazel Ward -womens literary fiction

Netta Wilde has now moved into Edies house and is following her wishes by going through her belongings, part of which are her diaries. Alternate chapters give us Edies story back in the war era when she worked as a plotter and how she met her husband. Netta is waiting for her business set up to be approved which gives her a little time to sort things out. As she goes through Edies life she is reminded of some of her own doings in the past and reflects on them.

This is the second book in a series- Being Netta Wilde being the first one ( 5* from me) and would be preferable to be read before this one. I really enjoyed this. I found the two timelines intriguing and loved both Edie and Netta. There was a depth and a warmth. We have all had our ups and downs, some more than others and reading of someone's tenacity and determination can be inspiring.

Go taste the stars (if you know, you know) sit back and enjoy this wonderful read. Its one to go through the emotions and perhaps make you ponder on your own life a little. Highly enjoyable.

Finding Edith Pinsent

A moving story of love, loss and friendship that breaks and uplifts your heart.

Netta Wilde has a task to complete.

She’s agreed to go through the late Edith Pinsent’s diaries and possessions

personally. The problem is, she’s been busy sorting out her own life. But

she’s in a better place now. She’s free of her manipulative ex, has a new

love in neighbour, Frank and has reunited with her kids.

What better time to begin Edie’s story?

But the path to discovery is not easy.

There are missing diaries to contend with, boxes of memories to uncover

and revelations that turn everything on its head. Revelations that make

Netta question if her own life really is sorted.

Delving deeper into Edith’s history, Netta is overtaken by a need to revisit

her own past and put things right, but to do that she has to find the two

people who once meant everything to her.

As her two challenges intertwine, Netta realises that Edith had a purpose

for her. One that she must fulfil

Bit by bit, the house yields a lifetime of secrets and the real Edith

Pinsent begins to emerge.

But will it be the Edith everyone thought they knew?

Author Bio – 

Hazel Ward was born in inner city Birmingham. By the time the city council

packed her family off to the suburbs, she was already something of a feral child

who loved adventures. Swapping derelict houses and bomb pecks for green

fields and gardens was a bit of a culture shock but she rose to the occasion

and grew up loving outdoor spaces and animals.

Strangely, for someone who couldn’t sit still, she also developed a ferocious

reading habit and a love of words. She wrote her first novel at fifteen, along

with a lot of angsty poems, and was absolutely sure she wanted to be a writer.

Sadly, it all came crashing down when her seventeen-year-old self walked

out of school in a huff one day and was either too stubborn or too

embarrassed to go back. It’s too long ago to remember which.

Against all odds, she somehow managed to blag her way into a successful

corporate career until finally giving it all up to do the thing she’d always

wanted to do. Shortly after, she began to write her debut novel Being Netta Wilde.

Hazel still lives in Birmingham and that’s where she does most of her

writing, although she spends a lot of time in Shropshire or gadding

about the country in an old motorhome. Not quite feral anymore but

still up for adventures.
