From the author of The
Vintage Teacup Club
The first rule of afternoon tea: never rush. Take time to savor it. Just like friendship…
The Seafront Tearoom is an insider secret in small-town Scarborough – a beach-front haven with the best tea and cakes in town – and journalist Charlie Harrison would love to put it on the map with a feature in her magazine. But single mom Kat Murray doesn’t want to see her favorite sanctuary overrun by tourists, and begs Charlie to seek out other options. She offers her help, as a “tea obsessive,” and so does French au pair Séraphine Moreau, whose upbringing makes her a connoisseur of everything sweet and indulgent.
Together the three women will scour the countryside for quaint hideaways and hidden gems, sharing along the way their secrets, disappointments, and dreams – and discovering that friendship, like tea, takes time to steep. But learning too that once you open your heart, the possibilities are endless.

About the Author:
I’m a writer of
romantic fiction, and lover of tea, cake and car boot sales. I grew up in north
London, the youngest of three children, and always wanted to be a writer. Back
then I wrote whenever it was quiet, in my room at dawn before school, in the shed
full of spiders and in the cellar.
I studied English at
university in Brighton then went into publishing – I was a book editor through
my twenties, before picking up a pen again at thirty-one and writing The Vintage Teacup Club. Along the way I’ve also taught
English as a foreign language in Mexico and Ecuador, and learned to tango in
Buenos Aires.
I live in London (in
a pink house) with my husband and toddler son.

Nobody wants their private place invaded by strangers.... There used to be so many nice little places here in NY that we'd visit but now they are chic and trendy and we can't even get through the door. I totally understand the charachters angst on this issue.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a delightful read. Hot tea and a great read, doesn't get better then that. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

Boiling water for my tea now. I love meeting authors from the UK as it's my mother's birth place. I wouldn't mind having a cup of tea on the seafront. :)
