Second-hand purchase from a book market stall in Bath, UK from some years ago.
A paperback by Arrow, 2004, 416 pages.
Synopsis:
"It's not as if Nel hadn't enough on her plate already: organising a farmers' market in the picturesque Paradise Fields and keeping track of her unnervingly beautiful teenage daughter - plus sorting out a houseful of animals - are quite enough to keep her busy. The last thing she needs is another complication in her life, but when her old friend Sir Gerald dies and his son, Pierce - accompanied by his glamorous American wife - takes possession of The Big House, it seems that preserving the Fields is not on his list of priorities.
Nel takes up arms, determined to fight for the meadow and the market she loves. But whom can she trust? She's pretty sure her friends Sacha and Vivian are on her side, but her sensible boyfriend Simon, an estate agent, is less encouraging. And then there's Jake, the exaspering yet attractive stranger who kissed her under the mistletoe. Maybe she's been a not-so-merry widow for far too long..."

I have been reading this in small bits when I have needed feel-good reading to carry me through some stress. I have finally finished this now but did not find it as enjoyable as hoped. Definitely not the best one by Fforde for me. Some of her usual warmness and funniness was partly gone and replaced by pretty boring stuff about the building rights etc.
Perhaps somebody else likes this more than me.

Spontaneous geocaching day in Pori, mini lunch break in Petra's Cafe. The shelf was pretty full of books but I managed to squeeze this in.
Ex tempore - kätköretkellä Porissa pidimme lounasbreikin Petrassa. BC-hylly oli todella täynnä, mutta sain tämän mahdutetuksi vielä muiden joukkoon.
