Lizzie wants nothing more than to start over and put the past behind her. So when she is offered the chance to live and work at Rowan Hill, a beautiful country estate and bustling community of artists, it feels like a dream come true.

But soon after her arrival a series of accidents and misunderstandings begins to threaten the happiness and livelihoods of everyone at Rowan Hill. And when suspicion quickly falls on Lizzie, she discovers that the past is not so easily forgotten.

To keep the life she has just begun to build, Lizzie will have to race to uncover the truth before there are disastrous repercussions for everyone involved. In this heartwarming story of friendship, loss and love, the stakes are high but so are the rewards. If Lizzie can find a way to stay true to herself, she might have a chance at something she has always wanted: a place to call home.

Audible version - Narration is awful!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

I gave it only one star because to be honest I couldn't get past the first couple of pages listening to the narration. I've listened to the authors The Little Cottage on the Hill" series and the narration was so enjoyable. The characters, the scenes were just so vivid it became a fun and visual experience.. Unfortunately I mistakenly thought it would be the same (should have listened to the Audible sample before the purchase). This narrator just runs sentences together in such a rush you feel as though you have it on high speed (which Id didn't). But it was so uncomfortable to listen to that now even just reading the book on it's own it's hard to get the narrator's voice out of my head. I really don't like to give negative reviews but the lessoned learned here is to listen to the audio sample before purchasing. Will wait awhile before giving reading the book another go.

Ok read but wouldn't go out of my way to recommend

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017

Rowan Hill is a country estate where there is a real sense of community among the artists that work there. When Lizzie is offered the opportunity to live and work there, she is ecstatic not only because she falls in love with the place but also because she wants to escape her past. However, accidents and misunderstandings keep popping up and Lizzie always seems to be in the middle of things. When it looks like the future of Rowan Hill might be in jeopardy, Lizzie sets out to find out who might be sabotaging the people she considers family.

The character of Lizzie was frustrating to read for much of the book. She got a little better towards the end, but it didn't really make up for all the scenes where she acted like she was not born with common sense. I much preferred the scenes where Ellie was the focus instead of Lizzie.

This is one of those books where the reader figures out what is going on, long before the characters finally figure it out. However, as a reader you do feel invested enough in the story to want to see it all played out.

This is the second book of a series but can be read as a standalone novel.

I received a free copy of this ebook and that is my honest review.

Couldn't put it down

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2017

I was lucky enough to win a copy of this book for Kindle via Goodreads, and this is my honest review of Turn Towards the Sun.

I wasn't sure what to expect, as I haven't read the first book in Emma Davies' Rowan Hill series. Once I started, though, I couldn't put this book down. As I got to the last few chapters, I was walking the aisles at Target, throwing toilet paper in the cart, and reading on my Kindle. The story is told through alternating narratives, and despite some very crazy scenarios, I was able to suspend my disbelief and get absorbed in the story. Though I thought I knew what was going on, twists kept me on my toes through the very end of the book.

I plan on going back to read Emma Davies' other Rowan Hill book now to learn more about this magical place and all of its characters.

A romance mystery tale.

I loved all the characters, Ellie, Lizzie, Helen, Patience, Will, Finn, Ben and even Fliss.

I felt for Lizzie, but loved how she grew and started to believe in herself.

Three and a half stars

Brilliant sequel to Letting In Light

What fun to catch up with the folk at Rowan Hill again. Lizzie arrives to join the “family” to get away from her awful early life. I loved this book, the characters are like old friends, one feels that one could fit right in at Rowan Hill. Please, please Emma could we have another book with more about Rowan Hill. There’s still so much of the story most readers would love to know about.

Liked the characters and wanted them to succeed. Loved the re-purposed English country estate community spirit. I also enjoyed the mystery without a murder.

It was an ok read but nothing spectacular. The heroine became more and more of a "Miss Goody Two-Shoes" and that really grated.

I have to admit that it took me a little time to get into the story. But, once I did I couldn't stop reading it. I guessed who I thought the culprit was, and was wrong!!!! What a fun story. Great job

Rowan Hill

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

I wasn't aware when I purchased this book that it was a sequel. However, this is made abundantly clear as soon as you start reading. The Author has presumed that we, the reader, are already au fait with the world of Rowan Hill and the populace of this idyllic retreat. I nearly gave up because it was a pretty much impenetrable world but I persevered because so much of the tale is from Lizzie's point of view and she is as anew to this world as we are.

Over all I am glad I did as I enjoyed the tale. The plotting is strong, even if a little transparent as to the identity of the person wreaking all these terrible wrongs in the Tea Shop and Studios. The device of telling the tale from several viewpoints works well as it does allow you to get to know the characters a little more. That said, I found Ellie in particular to be annoying - she just wants everyone to be happy and crashes down in to self-flagellation whenever this goes awry - I desperately wanted to slap her face and tell her to grow up. Lizzie's meekness and anxiety at first annoyed me but as she began to grow and develop a little confidence I did warm to her. Patience, Helen, Jane, Alice and Gins are pretty much closed books to me as they are peripheral to this tale so just fill up page space and the male characters (Will, Ben and Finn) are really just names.

I did find myself getting annoyed at the way Lizzie's background was being dealt with. In many places everyone comes across a little sanctimonious just because she came from a family gripped by poverty so didn't get summer holidays or cinema visits or even nutritious food. I am sure this was not the way the author intended this to come across on the page but, to this reader, it did.

Strangely though, despite all my moaning, I did get sucked in to this peaceful world and found myself reading eagerly on and hoping that Lizzie would be believed. I was even rooting for Ellie's wedding to Will and hoping that all the misunderstandings would get sorted out. I know, I know in this genre they probably did but I still enjoyed getting there.

A solid book that took me quite some time to get into but was worth my perseverance.

It's 5++ Stars from me!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is second of two books featuring the Rowan Hill art and craft centre and it is worth reading Letting in Light first. It is quite confusing trying to work out which book is the first and I thank other reviewers for telling us. Lizzie is a new arrival at Rowan Hill. She hasn't had much of a life but finally finds herself belonging but soon things start to happen and the finger starts to point at her. Will she be able to prove her innocence or will she be cast out to find her own way in life again? I loved this book and would give it more than 5 stars if I could!

Another 24 hours spent reading, with only rest stops and quick meals!

Emma Davies has done it again, another brilliant book, with real characters with class and strengths. Characters who make you want to read about them for ever, even though you know when you get to the end of the book you have to day goodbye :(

Will and Ellie's wedding is looming. The Rowan community is growing and lots of new characters, some returning ones and a sudden birth!

Emma Davies is a champion painter of stories that will grip you by the throat.

My only dislike is that they have to end sometime. Brilliant *****

I absolutely loved this book, I thought her first book was good but this one excelled it just brilliant. It was lovely to catch up with all the characters, you just get pulled into the book as if you are living it with them.
I would definitely recommend that you read this book, this is only my second book by Emma Davies and I am truly hooked. I am so looking forward to read a lot more of Emma's books, just heading over to Amazon for my next fix.

Great follow up book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 12, 2019

This was so much better than the first although I really enjoyed that too. This had more going on in this a mystery to solve which I didn't guess, more great characters. Lizzie was quite annoying at first but I did warm to her by the end. I personally feel you need to read the first book before this as it gives the reader a better understanding/background. Highly recommend this book and if you like cakes you'll enjoy this 😁
