Despite the financial strain of the move, Ollie has dreamed of living in the country since he was a child. Caro is less certain, and Jade is grumpy about being removed from all her friends.

- A rose petal summer / by Fforde, Katie,author.;
She's answered an ad in The Lady: being a companion to an elderly gentleman who lives in a country estate could be perfect! Surely it is time to make a change and do something different for a while? The fact that she may also see Alec, the young man who she met some years previously and who she has always thought of as her 'one who got away', is of course purely incidental. Soon Caro is falling in love - not only with Alec but with the stunning house and grounds she is now living in. But the estate is in financial difficulties and it quickly becomes apparent that there is only one way to rescue it. So begins a magical romantic summer that will take Caro to London to the south of France and back again to Scotland in search of a classic lost perfume that might just restore all their fortunes.- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Country homes; Perfumes; Man-woman relationships;

- The high house : a novel / by Greengrass, Jessie,1982-author.;
"Caro and Pauly, Sally and Grandy live together in the High House. Set away from a small town by the sea, on a sloping hill, they have a tide pool and a mill, a vegetable garden and, mostly importantly, a barn packed full of supplies. They are safe, so far, from the rising water that threatens to destroy the town and that has, perhaps, already destroyed everything else. But for how long? Caro is Pauly's sister, and she takes care of him while his parents, her father and his mother, are away, agitating for a more pronounced response to the incipient climate disaster. When disaster really does strike, she does as she's told and takes Pauly to the High House, far away from London, a converted summer home cared for by Grandy and his granddaughter, Sally. They learn to live together, or at least they try. Yet there are limits to their safety, limits to the supplies, limits to what Grandy--the former village caretaker, a man who knows how to do everything--can teach them as his health fails. A searing novel that takes on parenthood, sacrifice, love, and living, as we all must, under the threat of extinction, The High House is a devastating, emotionally precise novel about what can be salvaged at the end of the world"--- Subjects: Children's stories.; Apocalyptic fiction.; Dystopian fiction.; Climatic changes; Families; Life change events; Preparedness; Self-actualization (Psychology); Survivalism; Climatic changes; Family life; Families; Life change events; Preparedness; Self-actualization (Psychology); Survivalism;
