Alice Rose is a foundling, discovered on the Yorkshire moors above
Haworth as a baby. Adopted but then later rejected again by a horrid
step-mother, Alice struggles to find a place where she belongs. Only
baking - the scent of cinnamon and citrus and the feel of butter and
flour between her fingers - brings a comforting sense of home.
So it seems natural that when she finally decides to return to Haworth,
Alice turns to baking again, taking over a run-down little teashop and
working to set up an afternoon tea emporium.
Luckily she soon makes friends - including a Grecian god-like
neighbour - who help her both set up home and try to solve the mystery
of who she is. There are one or two last twists in the dark fairytale of
Alice's life to come . . . but can she find her happily ever after?
Wonderfully wry, heart-warming and life-affirming, Trisha Ashley's
hilarious novel will charm lovers of romantic comedies. And it contains
recipes!
