Praise for The Best of Intentions:

'Through her joyous cast of characters, Caroline Scott reminds us of the power of community and what can be achieved when very different people come together to work for the collective good. It's an ode to kindness, authenticity and optimism - just what we need at the moment!'
Caroline Bishop

'[A] warm and engaging story of community, friendship and resilience. I thoroughly enjoyed this gentle novel, a salutary tale of how we must adapt to in order to flourish and of how letting go of the past enables us to embrace the possibilities of the future, with a heartening message of love, hope and fellowship threaded through every page.'
Anita Frank

'[A] lovely story set in a golden age of the English countryside which might not be quite so golden after all. The entertaining cast of characters ask thought provoking questions: what happens when idealism turns sour … who are the incomers … who gets to be the arbiter of good taste. As clouds gather on the distant European horizon in the 1930s, the residents of Anderby Hall remind us of the importance of community, kindness and optimism.
Flora Johnston

‘Turbulence and tribulation in paradise. A colourful cast of characters navigate the conflicting forces of idealism and pragmatism in this richly-drawn portrait of a bohemian utopia in the 1930s. A fond and funny novel about the power of patience, love and kindness’
Fiona Valpy

‘A wonderful, atmospheric read that I really couldn't tear myself away from. It's so beautifully written, with gorgeous, evocative descriptions of orchards, gardens, the seasons and an English country house. I was transported! The story and characters are equally fabulous. I loved how newcomer Robert found his place amongst an unconventional, artistic community and the intelligent way the dilemmas were presented. And as for the dastardly Teddy... well! Brilliant intrigue . . . I highly recommend!’
