The homecoming by Rosie Howard

Looking for something with a sip of romance, a slug of friendship and a bevy of interesting characters? Welcome to the Sussex market town of Havenbury. In this the first in a new series; Maddy returns to the village to help her old friend Patrick recover from a heart attack and run his pub.

Maddy is quickly drawn into village life when she becomes involved in setting up a bespoke consortium for the local artisans. Throw in the love interest with local psychologist Ben and you have all the makings of contemporary cosy novel. A most satisfying read.
