Book description
It's not as if Nel hadn't enough on her plate already: organising a
farmers' market in the picturesque Paradise Fields and keeping track
of her unnervingly beautiful teenage daughter - plus sorting out a
houseful of animals - are quite enough to keep her busy. The last
thing she needs is another complication in her life, but when her old
friend Sir Gerald dies and his son, Pierce - accompanied by his
glamorous American wife - takes possession of The Big House, it seems
that preserving the Fields is not on his list of priorities.
Nel takes up arms, determined to fight for the meadow and the market
she loves. But whom can she trust? She's pretty sure her friends Sacha
and Vivian are on her side, but her sensible boyfriend Simon, an
estate agent, is less encouraging. And then there's Jake, the
exaspering yet attractive stranger who kissed her under the mistletoe.
Maybe she's been a not-so-merry widow for far too long...
Katie Fforde lives in Gloucestershire with her husband and some of
her three children. Recently her old hobbies of ironing and housework
have given way to singing, Flamenco dancing and husky racing. She claims
this keeps her fit.
