The Teashop on the Corner

Product Information

With so many characters, and so many alternating plots, with the story told from so many point of views there was not a single moment that I felt confused or didn't know who is who. They stories and characters are just brilliantly written and developed and I can't say that I have my favourites. I had fell for all of them and kept my fingers crossed for all of them, I actually felt that I live and breath with them. They are all on crossroads with their lives, they have their challenges and perhaps this makes this book so exceptional and realistic in perception. 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. 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.

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.Milly Johnson fans will be delighted by The Teashop on the Corner, and new readers of this author will wonder why they've not read her books before now. The Teashop on the Corner is such a place and I've spent the last few days right there, along with some wonderful characters. Sadly, the teashop does not really exist, but has been created by the fabulous Milly Johnson as the setting for her tenth novel .... and in my opinion, her very best story by far. 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. Will; bankrupt, homeless and now single after his materialistic wife has made it quite clear that she is not prepared to live without the big house, the fancy car, the hair extensions and the designer bags. Pavitar; retired surgeon, a true gentleman and so very lonely after the death of his beloved wife. Leni, the teashop owner, has a smile for everyone and a willing ear to listen whenever needed. But buries her own hurt deep inside.

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. 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.

Every time Milly Johnson releases a new book, I'm like a small child at Christmas - I can't contain myself or think of anything else until I've opened it up and devoured it. It's getting quite difficult now to say anything new about her books - I reviewed It's Raining Men on my blog last year, and several others on Goodreads before that, and never make any secret of the fact that I'm an unashamed fan and that, for me, she can do no wrong.
