The Little Teashop of Lost and Found

'Trisha Ashley writes with remarkable wit and originality - one of the best writers around.' KATIE FFORDE

‘Trisha at her best.’ CAROLE MATTHEWS

Alice Rose is a foundling, discovered on the Yorkshire moors above Haworth as a baby. Adopted but then later rejected again by a horrid step-mother, Alice struggles to find a place where she belongs. Only baking – the scent of cinnamon and citrus and the feel of butter and flour between her fingers – brings a comforting sense of home.

So it seems natural that when she finally decides to return to Haworth, Alice turns to baking again, taking over a run-down little teashop and working to set up an afternoon tea emporium.

Luckily she soon makes friends – including a Grecian god-like neighbour – who help her both set up home and try to solve the mystery of who she is. There are one or two last twists in the dark fairytale of Alice’s life to come . . . but can she find her happily ever after?

Readers love The Little Teashop of Lost and Found:

***** ‘delightful, charming and pure escapism’

***** ‘intrigue, laughs and compassion . . . a truly lovely novel’

***** ‘full of warm-hearted characters, beautifully settings, delicious cakes and that special touch of magic which makes it stand out as a Trisha Ashley novel’

One of my favourite writers

Compulsively readable. Sent icy shivers down my spine. I loved it

A deliciously devious plot. A darkly comic and addictive read

Entertaining escapism

A romp-along tale of infidelity, manipulation and getting even. Very pleasing

—— Good Housekeeping

The twists and turns of My Sweet Revenge will totally hook you

—— Closer

You can always rely on Jane Fallon for a well-crafted, dryly funny, just-one-more-chapter-before-I-turn-out-the-light read. My Sweet Revenge ticks all those boxes

—— Red

Fun and feisty women's fiction at its very best

—— Heat

Praise for Jane Fallon

—— -

Queen of chick lit Jane Fallon brings us another gripping novel of friendship, deceit and drama. She is at her edgy and entertaining best - definitely one to be passed around your girl squad!

—— OK Magazine

Chick lit with an edge

—— Guardian

I love Fallon, she's in a category all of her own - her books are great fun and her characters are fabulous, believable women who take no nonsense.

—— Marian Keyes , Daily Mail

Sparkling and unpredictable

—— Elle

Well plotted, absorbing read with a whiff of Agatha Christie

—— Woman and Home

'Hot Tickets' Pick of the Week

—— Hello Magazine

Hugely entertaining and hugely enjoyable. This is one to watch in 2017.

—— Claire Allan

This smart story (that has a serial killer thrown in) proves that even with science behind it, the course of true love never runs smooth

—— Sunday Mirror

Unlike any other psychological thriller … Like a lengthy episode of the dark TV series Black Mirror … so expertly written it gets you thinking that it could happen in real life

—— Peterborough Telegraph

The One is my kind of book, one that stimulates the mind while warming the heart ... Gorgeously written, and pulsing with heart

—— Louise Beech, , author of The Mountain in My Shoe

The One is one of a kind – and singularly good.

—— Barbara Copperthwaite

A fresh, compelling, psychological thriller that will keep you guessing!

—— Mandy Baggot

insanely brilliant

—— Gillian McAllister

pacy, thrilling and very original. The plot is fabulous

—— Askews Newsletter

A page-turning psychological thriller with a difference, this is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

—— Irish Examiner

An extremely good short novel about a teenage boy from Dublin… This is really very good indeed.

—— William Leith , Evening Standard

Their love affair, across divisions of class and age, is brilliantly, painfully told. Although Montpelier Parade is – amazingly – Geary’s debut novel, he already knows how to play with the reader’s feelings like a pro. He’s one to watch.

—— James Marriott , The Times

It’s written throughout in the second person, a device that sounds tricksy and ought to jar, but Geary’s deft way with words makes it work. Staggeringly good.

—— Simon Shaw , Mail on Sunday

Wow, for a debut book, this blew me away. It is a beautiful, lyrical, almost poetic story of first love, the passion and heartbreak of loss and finding out who you are… The writing just made me sigh (in a good way) and I cannot wait to read Karl’s next book. As this is only a slim book, it will haunt the reader, and for me, it will always have a place in my heart. It is a book to treasure and to tell your friends and family about. It’s one to keep and one to reread, just because.

—— Angie Rhodes , Nudge

It’s a sensitively told love story and an evocative picture of rainy, gritty 1980s Dublin. Geary is a writer to keep an eye on.

—— James Marriott , The Times

Geary’s use of the second person is unfaltering and brilliantly sustained, it creates an intimacy and intensity that is utterly absorbing.

—— Claire Allfree , Daily Mail

A quietly moving story of two lost souls in 1980s Dublin.

—— Sarah Gilmartin , Irish Times

The Summer of Impossible Things is that rare thing: a deftly crafted, utterly compelling story written entirely from the heart. Hauntingly beautiful, heart-rending and unique, this is an instant classic. I sobbed my heart out and adored it!

—— Miranda Dickinson

GORGEOUS. It's so moving and romantic and I want to re-read it immediately

—— Louise O'Neill

Definitely more Time Traveller’s Wife than Dr Who

—— Good Housekeeping

Packs an emotional punch that's second to none - and the author's hallmark. Rowan Coleman picks you up, spins you around and dances you to the very edge of love. Glorious

Powerfully moving, vivid, glowing with love and humanity... I loved every word

The Summer of Impossible Things is utterly beautiful and engrossing - and Coleman is a brilliant storyteller
