Summary

Cupcakes, crafting and love at The Cherry Tree Cafe... Perfect feel-good summer listening for fans of Great British Bake-Off

Lizzie Dixon's life feels as though it's fallen apart. Instead of the marriage proposal she was hoping for from her boyfriend, she is unceremoniously dumped, and her job is about to go the same way. So, there's only one option: to go back home to the village she grew up in and to try to start again.

Her best friend Jemma is delighted Lizzie has come back home as she has just bought a little cafe and Lizzie's sewing skills are just what she needs to help get it ready for the grand opening.

With a new venture and a new home, things are looking much brighter for Lizzie. But can she get over her broken heart, and will an old flame reignite a love from long ago...?

For everyone who loves settling down to watch Great British Bake-Off, the Great British Sewing Bee, or curling up to read Milly Johnson or Jenny Colgan,The Cherry Tree Cafe is a coffee-break treat.

'A heart-warming sweet treat of a read' Mandy Baggot

'Fans of Jenny Colgan and Carole Matthews will enjoy this heartfelt debut novel from talented new author, Heidi Swain. The Cherry Tree Cafe is that most delicious of things - a warm and gently funny story of reinvention, romance, and second chances that you'll devour in one sitting' Katie Oliver, author of the bestselling 'Marrying Mr Darcy' series

'The Cherry Tree Cafe is every bit as delicious as the cover promises. Drop in for a minute, and the fabulous world of the crafting cafe wraps itself around you, pulling you in right from the first page. Beautifully written, with a heroine I rooted for all the way, and a great supporting cast. Original and assured, and like a cup of Orange Pekoe tea - perfect to enjoy in the afternoon' Jane Linfoot, author of The Vintage Cinema Club

Good story, shame about the ending

I thought the story was great, as were the characters but the ending was a real disappointment and it felt really rushed. Average chapter time 20 minutes. Final chapter, 9 minutes and the whole story was pretty much wrapped up in that last 9 minutes. Still worth a listen though.

Judges women for making choices about their own bodies

It was fine as an escapist read but certain bits had my blood boiling ”on what planet could she think that [her decision to have an abortion] was acceptable” and “ if she loved you, why did she have an abortion?” Main character was a bit whiney, but other than that it was a decent story.
