About this deal

The Teashop on the Corner has an endearing cast of main characters. Real people you feel you know and want to be friends with. Pavitar Singh is a lonely retired doctor with a great love of literature – and a thirst for like-minded company.

Milly Johnson writes with warmth and with humour, she creates characters that the reader really really wants to be friends with, she has created a teashop that every book lover would dream of visiting. She understands people and how they operate, and her characters are charming and oh so realistic. 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.) Absolutely loved it. Milly's writing is like getting a big hug with just the right amount of bite underneath. I was rooting for Bonnie from the start' Jane Fallon Molly Jones's ex-husband Harvey has reappeared in her life after many years, wanting to put right the wrongs of the past before it is too late. 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.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: 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? Leni has just opened her teashop in a development of new shops, she has created her shop with great care and it encompasses everything that she loves most in life; cake, books and meeting people. The story revolves around the teashop and it's customers; a bunch of people who would be unlikely to meet if it were not for this little oasis of calm that begins to be very important to them all.

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.

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 Teashop on the Corner" is about a great bunch of characters, each of them with their own problems, each of them with their own demons which they try to battle. Carla is newly widowed and has just discovered that her beloved and worshipped husband was actually a cheater and led a double - life. He was not the person Carla thought he really was and her marriage was a lie. El café de los corazones solitarios" es una novela coral, en mi oponión hay dos historias principales y dos (o tres, según se mire) historias secundarias y el hilo que las une con elegancia es el café del título, que casi tiene vida propia. Al principio me costó un poco entrar en la historia pues los capítulos son muy cortos y la autora los utuliza para ir cambiando el punto de vista de narrador, que siempre es en tercera persona. Pero cuando entré en la dinámica me resultó fascinante y debo confesar que admiro a la autora por ser capaz de llevar tantas historias al mismo tiempo.

Molly Jones’s ex-husband Harvey has reappeared in her life after many years, wanting to put right the wrongs of the past before it is too late. This was such a compelling read I literally did not put it down as the storyline just swept me away and there was always something going on so there wasn’t a safe place to stop other than the end! Spring Hill Square is a pretty sanctuary away from the bustle of everyday life. And at its centre is Leni Merryman's Teashop on the Corner, specialising in cake, bookish stationery and compassion. And for three people, all in need of a little TLC, it is somewhere to find a friend to lean on.

My One True North is also a standalone BUT it has characters from Here Come The Girls and The Teashop on the Corner in it, although you don’t need to have read them to enjoy it. 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. Each character not only has a believable story to tell but they each managed to exude warmth, compassion and strength for themselves and for each other. There were some wonderful laugh out loud moments interspersed with the heartbreak which brought about a real balance within the book and prevented the heavier aspects of the story from becoming to maudlin! The short snappy chapters allowed the story to flow without it feeling rushed which I also liked.

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 Milly Johnson’s tenth novel. Johnson was the recipient of RNA’s RomCom award 2014. Leni, the teashop owner, has a smile for everyone and a willing ear to listen whenever needed. But buries her own hurt deep inside.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The three central characters all have interesting and believable stories and the supporting cast of characters ensure all the characters really come to life. This kind of book is really easy to read and perhaps a little predictable but that doesn’t impact on the enjoyment factor! The feeling you get when you read a Milly Johnson book should be bottled and made available on the NHS’ Debbie Johnson This was such a charming little book. I'd never read anything by and never heard of Milly Johnson before, so I didn't know what to expect. I assumed it would be a light and fluffy romance. It was much more than that: yes it is a romance, but it also has some dramatic elements to it. Even though there are some happy endings, they're not cheesy at all; they're quite realistic. And not everyone is fortunate to get a 'happily ever after' ending. The book totally reminds me of the movie Love Actually. Several characters are introduced at the beginning, and the chapters alternate between the different plots. But then, some way or another all the characters find their ways to the Teashop on the Corner, so their stories intertwine. New friendships and love relationships develop. And at this point, the book started to make me think about what I call the Facebook phenomenon. I have always thought that Facebook is actually a "Fakebook", meaning that everyone on it pretends to have a perfect life, even though everybody has lots of skeletons in their closets. But online you can pretend not to have any. By contrast, in real life you can only hide your skeletons temporarily. But real friendship/love is about loving each other with/despite our skeletons. All the characters have their skeletons, and of course they try to hide them, but life forces them to reveal their secrets. But thankfully they have people around them who don't mind their skeletons at all. And those are the moments when highly sensitive people (like me) start crying, and then cry and cry... (And then the book becomes a favourite...) 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.
