Wow, okay so I'm a huge Tricia Ashley fan, as I think most people who've ever picked a book of hers up are! They're always a great chick lit read and never let's you down. This one for me was even better that normal though, because Haworth in Yorkshire is one of our family's favourite places to visit.
In this book, Alice has grown up knowing she's adopted, we see a flashback and know Liz her real mum, had had to give up her baby. Her adoptive dad passed away when she was eighteen and her adoptive mum changed toward her but she still had her best friend Lottie there for her.
Over the years, a move to Cornwall and later Scotland, losing a fiancée and being left a small but comfortable sum of money, she returns back to her Yorkshire roots and continues her love for cooking and baking in the form of her Teashop she transforms from a mess of dust balls and disarray, into a flourishing business. She also fits into the Giddings family, taken in and made sure she's treated like family by them as she's new back to the area and their family goes back a long way living there.
They may not be her true parents, family etc but they do care for her and help her unravel the mystery around her birth mother.
I really loved this book and I liked the fact Alice wrote and that the genre she writes is fantasy horror retellings!
As always, a delightful read by Tricia, thanks to her publishers for allowing me a copy to review!
