In the charming, quaint yet mysterious English village of Nun’s Drift, twenty-six-year-old Meg seeks refuge and healing with her aunt. As Meg settles into village life, she encounters the enigmatic and attractive Barny, whose presence stirs something within her. But Meg is haunted by a past she can’t seem to escape.
As Meg starts her journey of healing, readers are drawn into the lives of the village’s residents through their varied perspectives. Barny, the perpetual runner – will he discover the courage to stay, and the life-changing power of perseverance? Rosemary, a long-time Christian crippled by doubt – can she learn the profound lesson of prioritising love and empathy over religious ritual? And Jason, the vicar, who struggles to maintain the façade of a perfect life…
Each character’s journey intertwines, revealing deeper themes of forgiveness, perseverance, doubt and faith.
Nun’s Drift is a heartfelt exploration of faith, doubt and honesty. Sheila Jacobs crafts a poignant tale that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned what they believe, or grappled with the complexities of life. Through its richly drawn characters and compelling storylines, the novel promises a gripping and profoundly real experience that will linger with readers long after they turn the last page.

    Within the book, “Nun’s Drift”, is four short stories about four different characters, whose lives intertwine. Nun’s Drift is a small English village where everyone knows each other’s business. The characters are realistic and relatable. I recommend this book to you as one which is good for a short read. Meg arrives in Nun’s Drift to be with her Aunt Lou, and soon she realises this is a place she can call home. Barney, who is always running away, learns to face his past and finds his place in Nun’s Drift. Rosemary is in a season in her life where she is doubting her faith. By the end of her story she finds the Good Shepherd and realises that faith is all about relationship and not works and effort. Jason, the new vicar, struggles with a voice from his past telling him hes’s not good enough. He has a significant part to play in the lives of each of the above mentioned characters and is able to help them all despite his own difficult past. In one way or another, each of these characters are learning how to forgive themselves, receive healing and begin, or continue, a journey of faith. Each one of them is loved and has been found by the Good Shepherd who has been pursuing them. There is scope for the author to write more about these characters and I would be interested in reading more of their stories and the people of Nun’s Drift. I was given a free copy of this book in return for my honest review.
