Fleeing a toxic marriage and a job that's killing him, Finn winds up in the forgotten seaside town of Carrickbar. It's winter and, like Finn, the country is frozen and in crisis. All the old certainties have been blown away, and America has gone mad. Things don't look good for anyone, least of all him. But then he meets Hermione Watts, owner of the Sea View Cafe, a woman with an eye for suffering and a heart ever ready to heal. If anyone can fix things, she can. But then there's Helena, Queen of Carrickbar, a beautiful, foul-mouthed Georgian émigré, displaced by civil war, still carrying a bullet in her back. She sees something in Finn as well, though for the life of her she can't tell what, only that she wants it. Except she'd never really waste a body like hers on a man like that. Would she? Instead, she plays matchmaker to Hermione and Finn, before deciding it's Hermione she wants. And Finn? Well, maybe he'd be better as an already amicably divorced ex-husband, so skipping the messy middle bit. It sounds mad, but then what's normal about the times they're living in? Anyway, she's played longer odds than that in the past and come out on top, so who's to say she can't pull this one off as well? A quirky love story, a story of middle-aged orphans washing up in a forgotten, washed up part of the world, building their own families from scratch by stitching together unfamiliar boundaries. But when living through extraordinary times, when all the simple solutions have been tried and found wanting, maybe you've got to throw away the old rules and embrace the impossible if you want a chance at happiness in a world so suddenly tipped upside down.
The beloved author of The Bookshop on the Corner returns with a sparkling, sunny, soulful new novel perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand. Years ago, Flora fled the quiet Scottish island where she grew up -- and she hasn't looked back. What would she have done on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, where no one will let her forget the past. In bright, bustling London, she can be anonymous, ambitious... and hopelessly in love with her boss. But when fate brings Flora back to the island, she's suddenly swept once more into life with her brothers -- all strapping, loud, and seemingly incapable of basic housework -- and her father. Yet even amid the chaos of their reunion, Flora discovers a passion for cooking -- and find herself restoring dusty little pink-fronted shop on the harbour: a café by the sea. But with the seasons changing, Flora must come to terms with past mistakes -- and work out exactly where her future lies... Funny and heartfelt, The Café by the Sea is a delightful summertime novel that puts a modern twist on the classic Seven Brides for Seven Brothers story.

Written by a female Middle East expert, Bradt’s Saudi Arabia is the first English-language travel guide from a mainstream publisher that focuses exclusively on the Kingdom, which has now opened for general tourism as part of rapid political, economic and social reforms. With detailed advice on what to see and do, listings for accommodation and restaurants, guidance on cultural etiquette and advice for women and other diverse travellers, this book provides the practical information adventurous tourists need to explore this new, exciting destination. Saudi Arabia will appeal to adventure travellers, offering activities ranging from pristine, world-class scuba diving to mountain-trekking. With dramatic scenery including a desert that stretches for hundreds of kilometres (where you can camp like a Bedouin) and several accessible nature reserves, visitors looking for undisturbed landscapes are spoilt for choice. Culture vultures will appreciate pre-Islamic rock art, Nabatean heritage, Mada’in Saleh (the sister city to Jordan’s Petra in Jordan) and six UNESCO World Heritage Sites rarely visited by international tourists. Particularly after sundown, when Saudi Arabia truly comes alive, urbanites can explore the cities of Riyadh and Jeddah, where shopping opportunities range from traditional souqs to top-end malls where the wealthy go to see and be seen. Gastronomists can enjoy varied cuisine, from fine dining worthy of a Michelin star to traditional meals served on the floor, shared by all and eaten by hand. This guide dispels misinformation by providing an unbiased, up-to-date and comprehensive resource that accurately reflects what Saudi Arabia now offers visitors from all backgrounds. Most outsiders know little about the Kingdom other than from typically negative media coverage, so may be pleasantly surprised at its rich history and youthful population eager to extend hospitality to guests respecting their culture and traditions. A comprehensive guide combining detailed travel information about the entire Kingdom (from the Northern Borders to Asir, and from Hejaz to Eastern Province) with a chapter explaining some of the main practices of and reasons for the hajj and umrah pilgrimages, plus contextual insights covering cultural etiquette, reforms and women travellers, Bradt’s Saudi Arabia is the perfect companion for people who thrive on off-the-beaten-path travel.
Anna was stuck in a dead-end job and a loveless marriage. Once her children had flown the nest, she realised she needed to make some major changes to uncover the person she once was, the confident and spirited individual she had been. As hard as it would be to move out of the family home and regardless of how apprehensive Anna felt about going alone, she was much more scared of staying. After gathering all the courage she could muster and having made many plans, Anna and her trusted dog, Teddy, set out to the Norfolk coast to build a new life. Anna had rented a small wooden beach house she had come across while walking Teddy along the coast, it needed quite a bit of TLC, but Anna was up for the job, imagining the beach walks her and Teddy could enjoy and the view of the sea that would greet her each morning, Anna was sure this would be a good place to start her new life. Anna was welcomed in the community and one particular resident, a very colourful lady named Maggie, decided to take Anna under her wing. Maggie was a pillar in the beachside community, and she knew everyone and everything that went on. A twist of fate and a little help from Maggie led Anna to a run-down beach café which, like herself, needed re-building. What Anna didn’t expect was who this little café would bring into her life or the person from her past who would come back to haunt her and the adventures she would have along the way.
