Time for another Fairlight Modern novella! This time we’re off to a remote island on the east coast of America, to a world of crisp winter winds and pines, and sudden summer influxes of tourists; a world where the year-round residents all know everyone else’s secrets and newcomers are watched with suspicion. And the gossiping islanders have plenty to occupy them now, because an old rental cottage has just been sold to the young and beautiful Delilah. The neighbours wonder about her story (and her morals), gleefully scandalised while Delilah rolls up her sleeves and gets on with the business of transforming her little cottage into a home. But she swiftly realises that she isn’t the only mystery on the island. What about the man who lives in the yellow house next door, with whom she shares a driveway, but who hardly ever comes out into the world?

I received an ARC of this book to read in exchange for a fair review. Sara Marchant’s novella The Driveway Has Two Sides is the perfect book to read on a sunny afternoon in your hammock. The story is about Delilah who has come to live in a cottage on an island near Cape Cod purchased for her by her lover who has a wife and family elsewhere. It’s about the garden Delilah creates and the mysterious man next door who’s driveway is shared with Delilah’s cottage. I very much enjoyed this story.
