Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior
In Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior, a chance encounter in the English countryside leads to an unexpected friendship between Ellie Jacobs, a restless young woman searching for direction, and Dan Hollis, a quiet and unconventional harpmaker living a solitary life. As their worlds begin to intertwine, both must confront what they truly want from life—and whether they have the courage to change. Gentle, uplifting, and full of charm, this novel is a celebration of music, second chances, and the beauty of unexpected connections.
