Praise for 5 Peppermint Grove
Michelle never lets the reader guess what’s coming and keeps the suspense with the warmth she adds to every page. Bookshelf reviews
Jackson's latest novel will resonate with many Irish readers who have been touched by the heartbreak of emigration. Funny and empathetic, it is probably her best work yet. Irish Independent
Another great book by a great Irish author! Michelle Jackson never disappoints! Bookworm
Personally I think this is my favourite out of Michelle's books that I've read so far as it had a little bit of everything in it, an interesting mix of characters, stunning location, family dramas, great friendships, new romances, as well as a bit of intrigue. ShazsBookBoudoir.blogspot.com
Emigration, emigration, emigration…Ruth Travers is leaving Ireland like so many of the Irish Diaspora who have gone before her. But unlike most she’s travelling business class on a Boeing 777 and will be landing in sunny Perth Western Australia sometime in January. Leaving behind her married boyfriend of ten years, Ruth hopes to make a fresh start but not everyone is happy with Ruth’s decision to go. When she tells her mother Angela that she is Australia bound she is met with scorn. It is only when she discovers an airmail envelope with the address 5 Peppermint Grove scrawled across it that Ruth wonders why her parents left Australia without explanation.
Her best friend Julia Perrin gently orchestrated the move for her friend’s own good. She is a successful business woman with her own travel company and so busy fixing everybody else’s life she sees no need to do so with her own…until she visits Ruth in Perth! Sunshine, sandy beaches and Barbeques abound but there may be more than Angela’s secret waiting for them in Peppermint Grove…
5 Peppermint Grove eBook Michelle Jackson
This book combines the themes of the journey of emigration and the journey of self discovery by various characters, and the resulting impact on family relations, friendship, and romance. Plus there's a hint of travelogue about it in the obviously well researched descriptions of Perth and surrounds I thought it was a cleverly crafted and well written book.I must admit that the main character, Julia, got up my nose quite a bit. Her propensity for matchmaking and her know-it-all attitude reminded me of Jane Austen's Emma, whom I also never warmed to. However, as with the other characters in this book, Julia comes across as a "real" person with both strengths and weaknesses.
I downloaded this book because it was a freebie, because it had an Irish component, and because I was interested to see how a non-Perthite would write about my hometown. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately bought another book by this author.
As an aside, the cover illustration depicts an American mailbox, not an Aussie letterbox. We don't have that little arm on the side which, I gather from movies, alerts posties that there's mail to be collected.

5 Peppermint Grove eBook Michelle Jackson Reviews
I really enjoyed this book, it's a first I have read by this author and am looking forward to reading more.
Enjoyed the book. The characters are interesting. I like to read about Ireland.The story brings to light the challenges everybody faces
I enjoyed the storyline, but not the few intimate scenes that seemed totally unnecessary.
I like "clean books", and do not enjoy having scenes like that thrown in - like in this book.
I loved this book for the rich culture it gave of both Ireland and Australia. The characters were interwoven in a believable story line I would recommend this book to friends.
From the title and the book cover I expected this to be a book set during the holidays. It was not.
Instead, it is a book about love of family, family secrets and travels between Europe and Australia. It is a great book. I enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery.
I just finished the book this morning. It was a good book, but I was disappointed that the cover was misleading. This book came up on a site with other holiday books. This book had a few twists and turns, but it left a few characters hanging and the reader doesn't know what happen to them.
I loved it from start to finish!
The story was a little 'busy' for me in the beginning, lots of characters but the each had a part to playing the story. Once I got to know them then story took off. Its a story of stress because of the economic crash, people not sure if they have a job to go to or not, others having overspent in the good times finding that they have to pay back, the doom and gloom of unemployment. That is just an underlying element. Its also about true friendship between Julia and Ruth and also the love they have for their families, the sadness of people having to emigrate and the loneliness some face while away. A very real story which left me missing my hometown of Dublin but dying to travel now to Perth. I felt that Michelle Jackson brought Perth to life on the pages of the book. This is one of her best yet!
