This Christmas in Paris (2023)
Sophie Claire
"A light-hearted read. Set in Paris at Christmas-time with plenty of snow and sparkling lights to set the scene, this book picks you up and carries you along. It is a love story with food and secrets at its heart. If you are longing to escape, longing for an adventure, whatever time of year, join the gang at the Red Cat Cafe."
Mr Peacock's Possessions (2018)
Lydia Syson
"Mr Peacock's Possessions is a wonderful book, full of drama, courage and aspirations. The language is rich and the characters so humanely drawn."
