BOOK SYNOPSIS
Anna, a newly qualified interior designer, has decided its time to put her money and her expertise where her mouth is and risk everything to buy a tiny but adorable cottage in desperate need of renovation.
Outside, the chocolate-box cottage is perfect, but inside, all is chaos. With a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, candles the only form of lighting, and a sleeping bag and camping mat for a bed, Anna soon wonders if shes bitten off more than she can chew.
Her neighbor Chloe comes to the rescue, providing tea, wine, and sympathy---and a recently rescued greyhound, Caroline. But just as Annas starting to settle in, make new friends, and see the house transforming before her eyes, the good-looking yet impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene and puts even more obstacles in her way. Will Anna be able to get over all of lifes hurdles in the end, or will she stumble and fall?
BOOK REVIEWS
Fforde has imagination to spare, using witty writing and plotting to build a story.
---The New York Times Book Review
Katie Ffordes unique spin on romantic comedy is a blend of the sweet, the sad, and the sexy.
---Patricia Gaffney, author of The Saving Graces
Deliciously witty and romantic.
---Marian Keyes, author of Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married
Romantic comedy is one of the hardest things to pull off, requiring aplomb, immaculate timing, and a relish for the absurd. Katie Fforde pays the form a spirited compliment.
---Elizabeth Buchan, author of Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman
Charming . . . enormously enjoyable . . . like listening to Cole Porter or watching The Philadelphia Story.
---Newsday
Fforde brings an appealing, bumbling innocence to the age-old formula...
---Publishers Weekly
Chatty, feel-good romance . . . Fforde moves the plot along at breakneck speed, with enough charm to entertain the most discerning fans.
---Kirkus Reviews
