I read a couple of short stories by Jenny Worstall a few weeks ago which I enjoyed so I downloaded her romantic novel Make a Joyful Noise. Lucy is a newly qualified secondary school music teacher who is struggling with her classes; she is also struggling to establish her social life in a new town. She has been introduced to the local choral society and has fallen for Tristan, the choir conductor. Meanwhile fellow choir member and history teacher, Steve, has fallen for her. A typical love story triangle which is developed to a fairly predictable ending in a charming and highly readable manner. There's a wealth of supporting characters and some unexpected twists and turns as the plot moves forwards. The details about the choral society make the book unusual and add an extra dimension. An ideal holiday read whatever the weather and well worth a look.
