'Where Love Takes You' is the sequel to Ms Scarberry's novella about Henry the pigeon, and for this outing she has a co-writer, Francis Potts.This is a cozy, romantic tale with which to curl up in front of the fire on a cold night.It concerns the life-choices of two American women who fall for British men. All are pigeon lovers, and we learn a bit about pigeon-racing along the way.It will likely appeal more to the American reader than to the British reader, since the quaint English expressions which so perplex the two ladies will be already familiar to those of us from this side of the Pond, hence we do not get to join in the 'joy of discovery'. Some of the travels around the various towns and sights, and details of British food, will also be well-known to many Brits who might be tempted to skim a few passages.The book is, however, well put together and the storyline unfolds patiently and sensitively. It would be difficult not to like the characters and to root for them - especially the hopeless romantics among us.So get yourself a mug of cocoa (or your preferred poison) and grab a copy of 'Where Love Takes You'. While it might lack the drama of the first book, parts of it will have you reaching for the tissues.
