Narrative As Books Second Thyme Around
For years, things have run quite smoothly for Perdita and her organic gardening business. So what if her hair needs a complete overhaul, her sweater has more holes than Swiss cheese, and there's no hope of a boyfriend on the horizon? The last thing Perdita wants is a meddlesome man in her life-but she's about to get one, in the form of her completely infuriating ex-husband, Lucas.Lucas in disagreeable, curt, arrogant, and smolderingly gorgeous. He's also the new chef at Grantly House, Perdita's number-one customer. Worse, Mr. Grantly has the insane idea of starting a television cooking show that will put Lucas and Perdita together as "The Gourmet and the Gardener."
Now, things are heating up in the kitchen--and elsewhere. With the bright lights blazing and old feelings stirring the pot, it could be a recipe for disaster...or absolute delight.

Katie Fforde did it again! She has an amazing ability to write unique stories with satisfying romantic endings. I cried a little and I also laughed a ton! I could hardly put this novel down and when I did, I was dying to pick it back up!
I'm happy that no one says "bad things come in fours" because I've already had three and hope it is the last for a while. In the last 4 months, my dog died, then my Mother died, then my car died. I really wanted to read as a distraction, but could not bear anything heavy. Upon a recommendation from a librarian for a light beach read, I checked out this book. It was perfect. It was romantic without being gaggy and it contains no heaving breasts nor is there any trace of a open-shirted Fabio
One of my favorites by Katie Fforde. After a disastrous marriage, Perdita has managed to put her life back together and start up her own business growing and selling vegetables to local restaurants. She lives in a quaint English village across the garden from her elderly godmother, who dotes on her, dispensing sage and practical advice. One morning while she is delivering her veges to the local hotel, she is shocked to learn that the hotel has taken on a new chef . . . her ex, Lucas. Somehow she
Cute. This was my first novel by Katie Fforde and I really had no preconceived notion of what I was getting into; the only fact I gathered being that it was difficult to get ahold of her books. I found the unabridged audio version online and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Narrator Davina Porter had the perfect amount of sweet, witty and smart as Perdita and just the right amount of sage nobility to play the elder best friend of Perdita, Kitty. She even does a decent job discerning the male
This is a very cute summer read. Easy, fun and romantic. In all of her books the main character is always a little down on their luck and coming out a relationship. Great for the beach.
i should change my "crummy chick lit" tag, because i don't actually find chick lit to be "crummy" across the board. i actually really enjoy it when i am in need of something fun & frothy between the heavier doses of non-fiction to which i subject myself. this particular dose of chick lit, however, wasn't particularly to my tastes.the plot stars perdita, a 29-year-old organic gardener who supplies a few local restaurants & a "health farm," which is a british-ism that i don't understand.
