'In this delightful tale of Kath Sutton and the motley bunch of
characters revolving around the community hall she runs, Pam Rhodes has
given us a story of warmth, humour, and hope about lives shared and
burdens carried. Summer's Out at Hope Hall is one of those novels that
helps you hear laughter in the darkness, reminding you that the sun
really will rise tomorrow.' Sheridan Voysey, BBC Radio 2 presenter and
author of Reflect with Sheridan
HOPE HALL thrums with activity under the summer sun. Sea Cadets march in
the yard and happy chatter issues from English as a Foreign Language
classes while the weekly Food Bank reaches out to those in need.
Kath is determined to honour the origins of Hope Hall, which was founded
in memory of those lost during the two world wars. It's all hands on
deck as the centenary celebrations continue, but Kath's efforts set her
on a collision course with Celia Ainsworth, a descendant of the family
that donated the land.
Added to this, a mysterious homeless man proves tricky for Sheelagh to
identify, and a handsome stranger looks set to lead Kath a merry
dance...
SUMMER'S OUT AT HOPE HALL is a fun and deeply moving story that
celebrates the power of hope.
