I enjoyed this novel the characters were all well developed. It is a perfect relaxed day read, and I got through it in nineteen days, which considering some books have taken me over two months of picking them up and putting them down is good going. In fact the last 30% I read in one sitting because I didn't want to put it down.

I have to say this novel is crying out for a sequel; I'm not sure if one exists, but there is indeed room for a follow up on the next instalment of the central character's lives.

I don't like to give spoilers, but I have to say that Fay Merriweather is kind and more giving in all stages of the novel than I could ever imagine being. And I have a sense of duty to some degree myself. (

Another fun easy read from Carole Matthews. Fay Merryweather rings a tea shop in her garden and tends to her horrible demanding bedridden mother. Her mother dies and leaves everything to her sister who never did anything for her mother and who has made a series of bad choices. Never fear, a knight appears and saves the situation. (

3 stars - while this had an interesting storyline, I found the main character of the story very exasperating at times and parts of the story were very predictable. (

A bit shallow, but then I bought it because I wanted an easy read and it fitted the bill well enough.

I'm pretty sure you can't exchange on a house before you get probate...

I think my main beef with the book was that we see very little of Danny - he's away on his boat much of the time, and hence, it's hard to see why he's attracted to Fay because there's very little of them together.

The main relationship is really between Fay and her fellow cook, Lija.

Lija is definitely the character I most enjoyed. (
