Love Walked In

LOVE WALKED IN: Marisa de los Santos: Dutton: Fiction: 307 pages

Just like a movie, Cornelia’s life changes forever when a handsome man walks into the café she manages. Martin is a charming, Cary Grant look-a-like, and Cornelia is swept up in his attentions, but it’s Martin’s estranged 11-year-old daughter, Clare, who’s just been abandoned by her mother, who steals Cornelia’s heart, and when Martin exits the scene, Clare remains. Written in beautiful prose, this is a lovely story of belonging that is continued in the author’s second novel, Belong to Me.
