A Heart to Mend by Myne Whitman


What a charming book this is.

Gladys leaves her hometown for Lagos to live with her estranged aunt and, after a chance encounter with the mysterious Edward, finds herself drawn into a fragile romance. But Edward’s troubled past and a string of misunderstandings threaten both their relationship and the life he has worked so hard to build.

The backdrop of this romance is the world of corporate finance; the author’s knowledge or if not personal knowledge, meticulous research, is outstanding, so outstanding in fact, that I was a little overwhelmed by the finer detail and found myself eagerly anticipating the scenes between Gladys and Edward. 

I love Myne’s writing style – she is articulate and expressive. The main characters are well-developed and it’s very easy to become enamoured with Gladys and Edward. 

Delightful.
