PLEASE HELP ME FIND THIS BOOK!

OK, I appreciate this is a bit vague. Here's all I can remember. The novel set in ireland, and is about a woman who moves to run a gallery on the grounds of a stately home. The stately home I think also contained a safari park and at one point she finds zebras or something in her garden as she's living in a cottage on site. She used to be a champion sailor as a teen and takes it up again. She starts a romance with I think the owner of the main house?

There MAY be a teenage son/daughter also. I think at one point there's a scene with a big charity ball? The gallery sells georgia o'keefe style poppy paintings, I seem to remember. That's all I got!

I think I read it about 10 years ago? Anyone??

also I feel like the main character might be called Anna

Bump

I've read it but can't remember what it's called or whom by. I've looked at good reads but it must be further back from when I started logging there.
I'll keep trying to recall.
Don't remember a zebra though.

It sounds like the sequel to Out of Africa.

Such as "In to Ireland". I know that is not much help. Just wanted to post though, because I am a bit pissed tonight on a bottle of vino.

Sounds like a Katie Fforde type book

I think it could be a Freya North book?

If it's set in Ireland, could it be a Marian Keyes book? It does sound vaguely familiar to me, so I'll have a think.

I don't think there are any zebras in any Marian Keyes' books!

@determinedtomakethiswork I haven't read Marian Keyes in a long time, so you could well be right!

It's NOTmarian keyes

It's definitely not Marian Keyes.
I f do not think it's Maeve Binchy either.
