Where I live when you
come out the library, which sits in the middle of the high street, I had the
choice of 2 routes home. I picked the longest, but gentler hill. This route
took me passed a charity shop and in the window was this book. I walked past and
around the corner, thinking all the time what an intriguing title. I then
turned around went back and bought it. I wasn’t disappointed once I had read it.
Three women are at a
car boot sale in Sussex, Jenny, Maggie and Alison, they are all at the same stall
at the same time; you could say fate has bought them all together. Just one
small problem – they all
love the same vintage teacup set for different reasons. This book gets the 3 of
them talking and socialising as women would naturally do and they come up with
a plan.
Jenny wants to use it
as part of her themed wedding, Maggie wants it for a work event she is
organising and Alison is starting a career in selling crafted items and wants
to make unique candles out of it. So they agree once the others have used it
they pass it on, Alison having it last of course.
Alison and the other
two have collected quite a few tea sets all stored at Alison’s; well, I say
“stored” but they are on display and not packed safely away. This is where the
book becomes, ok, but still real, however, would you, with a family, risk
having china cups on display even if in a studio. This book shows why you
don’t. Alison’s teenage daughter throws a fit and tea sets get smashed. Yes,
this does happen in real life and hind sight is a wonderful thing. We can learn
from this book.
This is where this
book now becomes a happier ending and the men in the women’s lives step up and
realise the appeal of the club the women have formed.
The women are
frantically trying to find cups and sets to replace what was smashed but the
men have beaten them to it looking and buying up sets around car boot sales in
the area.
It is heart-warming
to see the men get on as it isn’t always the case and especially as to how the
3 women met. This book shows us we can get on with anyone if we want to.
I would recommend
this book it is a light-hearted read.
