After reading Greene's sweet Vintage Teacup Club I was anxious to find something else written by her, so I ordered this novel used from England through Amazon.com. I'm not sure it was really worth it, but it was a pleasant light read.
This is the story of 3 women who literally bond over tea. Journalist Charlie is up for a big promotion at her London magazine and hopes that her feature on seaside tea rooms in the Scarborough area of Englad will clinch the deal. She meets Kathryn (Kat), a divorced mother, who convinces her NOT to include the very special Seafront Tea Rooms in her article for fear of drawing tourists and ruining its intimate local atmosphere. Enter French au pair Seraphine, who is, oddly, spending just several months caring for the daughter of a widowed local businessman while she makes some important decisions about her love life. The three women become fast friends and visit out of the way tea rooms together and in pairs, Kathryn writing charming vignettes about their visits for Charlie's article. Of course they all find romance in the end, but there is a surprise twist regarding one of the principle characters.
Some of the reviewers on amazon stated that this was a great light read for travel, and I do agree. This is a good beach read, not my favorite ever, but not too bad.
