A Year at Castle Court

De: Holly Hepburn

Narrado por: Karen Cass

The brand new novel from bestselling author Holly Hepburn, perfect for anyone who loves Jenny Colgan, Veronica Henry and Lucy Diamond. A Year at Castle Court is Holly Hepburn's four Castle Court e-novellas collected together as a novel for the first time.

Sadie is a single mum, nursing a broken heart. Her best friend from childhood, Cat, is burned out from working long hours as a chef in Paris. In need of a change, they decide to invest in their dream – running their own handmade biscuit shop in gorgeous Castle Court, a three-storey food court tucked away behind Chester's bustling streets.

They soon discover that Castle Court has its own community – a little haven of delight against the stresses of the outside world. But not everyone welcomes the new business; the patisserie owner is less than pleased by what she sees as direct competition and Greg, who runs the fancy bistro that dominates one end of the courtyard, doesn't think Sadie and Cat have the talent or business acumen to succeed. Luckily, there's support in the form of the delectable Jaren, who owns the Dutch waffle house opposite Smart Cookies, and Swiss chocolate-shop owner, Elin. And if all else fails, the friends can drown their sorrows in Seb's cocktail bar on the third floor!

A Year at Castle Court

A Year at Castle Court, I absolutely loved a Year at the Star and Sixpence, and Holly's other book but I could not get into this one. I tried so many times eventually fell asleep and it was finished by morning I just could not be bothered trying again. Boring.

It was so boring.

I wish I could give a positive review but this book was so boring I couldn't even finish it. The narration was not bad but not goid either, it was difficult to distinguish between the characters, and they sounded older than they were.
