'Glorious escapism' Sunday Express Magazine

'Joyously readable' Woman & Home

'I wanted it to go on forever' Cathy Bramley

Like Maeve Binchy, the characters are identifiable, yet somehow never predictable and always with an element of sympathy ... This novel, telling the story of a perfect family and its imperfect realities, is splendid and just right for an end-of-summer read.
