Once again, I jumped headfirst into a series, uncaring of the previous installments. To be fair, I always had such an inclination, but I thought I could control myself better in my old age, right?

Right. Anyway!

Ward is probably aware of the existence of people like me, because Finding Edith Pinsent, the second book in the Netta Wilde series, reads as a marvelous standalone. That’s worthy of a star already: not everyone is able to start a series from the beginning, or to catch up in 1-2-3. Thank you, Ms. Ward.

I really enjoyed this! It's the kind of book that has you wondering about your own life! Even though this book is more about Edith's life, which I enjoyed getting a little more details into her life, I really like both of the main characters Edith and Netta! It was really easy to relate to both of them. They are just like you and me. They deal with the ups and downs of life very realistic which made this a very easy read for me! There are two different timelines but it moves between them perfectly! I wonder who the next book is going to be about! Happy reading everyone!

Thank you Rachel's Random Resources and Hazel Ward for sharing this wonderful story with me!

This is the second book in the Netta’s World’ series. Netta has been asked to go through Edith Pinsent’s diaries and belongings, Edith being the previous owner of Netta’s house. All sorts of secrets are uncovered whilst, at the same time, Netta is dealing with all the worries and challenges in her own life.

I loved Finding Netta Wilde so I was looking forward to reading Finding Edith Pinsent. It didn’t disappoint! I thought it was a fabulous read. It’s full of likeable characters and it was great to revisit some I’d already met. Edith’s diaries take the reader back to the days of WWII which I thought was very realistically written and gave a good insight into the world at that time. The two timelines sometimes resonate with each other for Netta, making her think about her own life. It’s quite an emotional story full of secrets and the trials and tribulations of being human. Well, that‘s life! So, open your arms, close your eyes and taste the sky as Edith says. A wonderful, inspiring and captivating read. ( )
