The Country Village Summer Fete

'Little Bramble is the perfect country village. Brimming with community spirit and warmth. I loved it.' Phillipa Ashley, author of A Perfect Cornish Escape

A feel-good, uplifting summer read for fans of Heidi Swain and Cathy Bramley.

Emma Patrick's life is spiralling out of control. On the cusp of her 50th birthday, she realises that she's been so focused on work that she's lost any real connection to people.

When Emma's ageing father needs her help, she decides to go back home to the countryside to spend some time with him. But returning to Little Bramble after years away is filled with complications and people she'd rather avoid.

To her surprise, as Emma settles in she finds herself loving village life. When the opportunity to get involved in the running of the summer fête comes her way, soon she's embracing jam making, cake baking and bunting. And with romance brewing, Emma begins to doubt the glamorous city life that she worked so hard to build . . .

'A heartwarming and charming story about love, friendship and village life.' Holly Martin, author of Ice Creams at Emerald Cove

'A lovely summery read full of family, friendship and the feel good factor!' Bella Osborne, author of One Family Christmas
