The Teashop on the Corner

Product Information

What I also liked about the book that there are lots of literary references (especially to Jane Austen), which I totally enjoyed. And the teashop is the teashop of my dreams. A teashop where there are some fantastic desserts and you can buy stationery (bags, bookmarks, notebooks etc.) related to classics. (If I won the lottery, I'd totally open a teashop like this.) Molly thinks that she loses it, or rather her son and her daughter - in - law try to persuade her that she loses it and want her to move to a care home. But Molly is full of life and full in control of her life although she can't guess that her long - lost true love will turn one day on her doorstep and that his return will actually change the rest of her life. Having just this minute finished reading The Teashop on the Corner by Milly Johnson, I am so sad to have to leave the wonderful group of characters behind but also I am still buzzing at what an incredible read this was. A mi parte romántica le habría gustado que la historia de Leni y Shaw estuviera más desarollada, aunque lo cierto es que es casi perfecta. Spring Hill Square is a pretty sanctuary away from the bustle of every day life. And at its centre is Leni Merryman’s Teashop on the Corner, a place where three people will find a friend to lean on:

At her beloved husband's funeral, Carla Pride discovers that Martin never divorced his first wife and has been living a double life with her. And his other wife, Julie Pride, is determined to take everything from Carla - her home, her money, and her memories. And finally there's Leni - owner of the teashop, baker of cakes, fixer and arranger, but who is hiding heartache and pain beneath her smiling exterior. Es la primera novela que leo de Milly Johnson y me ha gustado mucho la sensibilidad con la que describe los personajes y el finísimo sentido del humor con el que relata escenas dramáticas. The Teashop on the corner is Milly Johnson’s tenth novel. Johnson was the recipient of RNA’s RomCom award 2014. I fell in love with every character and I was captivated by their stories of love, loss and second chances. I just wanted to give Molly a big hug.Carla Pride has just discovered that her late husband Martin was not who she thought he was. And now she must learn to put her marriage behind her and move forward. The Perfectly Imperfect Woman features a certain male boss who appears first in The Yorkshire Pudding Club but there is no story continuation. This book is very much a standalone. The Queen of Wishful Thinking features one of the cleaners from Afternoon Tea at the Sunflower Café. Also the antiques shop in it is situated next door to The Teashop on the Corner so there is a couple of mentions of it. Though it is very much a standalone book. Molly Jones is being bullied into going into a retirement home by her ‘concerned’ daughter-in-law Sherry and son Gram. Then the love of Molly’s life walks in through her door – a man who broke Molly’s heart into little pieces many years ago. But he says he is dying and wants to spend the time he has left with her. The Magnificent Mrs Mayhew is a standalone book but it does give a sneaky mention to a certain village called Ren Dullem as featured in It’s Raining Men.

Almost from the beginning I had a feeling that I know what happened with Anne, which doesn't make me feel better or cleverer, no way, I just wanted to know if my suspicions are correct and what was the reason. I really felt heartbroken reading what actually happened and the way Leni was trying to cope. There is so much sadness in her story but in some way it also feels uplifting and heart - warming. The Teashop on the Corner has a perfect mix of tea, cake, books and friendship. Johnson’s descriptions of Leni’s literary wares makes me want to jump straight online to find some of these gems for myself. It fills me with a need to read the classics mentioned throughout the novel. Leni has just opened her Teashop on the Corner. It's not a usual tea shop but also a gift shop for everything connected with books. Leni, her warmth, brilliant cakes and Jane Austen & Co's themed Tuesdays attract at least a group of faithful customers who can't imagine now how they lived without their book discussions... The Teashop is actually the most important character in this book because everything finally revolves around it and nothing can happen without it. I loved this Teashop, just like this, and would do much to have such a shop somewhere on the corner. The description of this shop were lovely, delightful and delicious, and I don't mean only cakes. The whole idea was lovely, the books, stationery, and all booky gifts were brilliant and just my idea of heaven. The Mother of All Christmases is a standalone BUT it is also a part sequel to A Winter Flame as it features the further adventures of Jacques and Eve. The Barn on Half Moon Hill story happens within this book so you will definitely benefit from buying that (it’s 99p and all the money goes to charity – see above). The Mother of All Christmases also features characters and mentions from the following books: Here Come the Girls, A Summer Fling, Sunshine Over Wildflower Cottage, White Wedding, The Teashop on the Corner, Afternoon Tea at the Sunflower Café, The Queen of Wishful Thinking and The Yorkshire Pudding Club. I think I have never before struggled so much to write a review. Here the reason is very simple: this story was about normal people, about friendship and forgiveness and it was just beautiful. And here my review could end because I guess I can never in a million years do this book a justice with my words. But I'll try anyway.Molly Jones is being bullied into going into a retirement home by her 'concerned' daughter-in-law Sherry and son Gram. Then the love of Molly's life walks in through her door - a man who broke Molly's heart into little pieces many years ago. But he says he is dying and wants to spend the time he has left with her. Can all three find the comfort they are looking for in The Teashop on the Corner? And as their hearts are slowly mended by Leni, can they return the favour when she needs it most?
