A wonderful and heart-warming novel about female friendship, set on the British coast, from the author of The Vintage Teacup Club.
The Seafront Tea Rooms is just metres away from the bustle of the seaside, but in this quiet place a group of women find exactly what they've been searching for.
Charismatic journalist Alexandra is on a mission to scope out Britain's best tea shops. She knows she's found something special in the Seafront Tea Rooms but is it a secret she should share Kathryn, a single mother whose only sanctuary is the 'Seafront', convinces Alexandra to keep the place out of her article by agreeing to join her on her search. Together with the other regulars, Julianne, a pastry chef with big dreams, and Severine, a culture-shocked French nanny, they travel around the country discovering quaint hideaways and hidden gems. What none of them expect is for their journey to surprise them with discoveries of a different kind . . .
Full of romance, tea and cake, The Seafront Tea Rooms is a heart-warming tale about the strength found in true friendship.
