(also
published as Second Thyme Round)
Genre: Romance/Chic Lit
Will
Perdita face up to the fact that she can’t cuddle a lettuce?
Perdita
Dylan runs a fresh produce market, and supplies her baby vegetables to a local
hotel. On one of her deliveries she
finds that the kitchen has been taken over by Lucas. A total prat.
He is also her ex-husband and they haven’t seen each other in 10
years. Lucas is being groomed as the
next celebrity chef and would like to use her picturesque (and slightly
primitive) cottage for filming his cooking show, and her in a supporting
role. When her 87-year-old friend,
Kitty, falls ill, Lucas is there to help and offer Perdita some support she
starts to question whether he really is the villain she made him out to be.
We follow
the misadventures of Perdita and Lucas (alone and together) as well as with
Kitty. Although the novel ends exactly
the way I expected it to, it remains a lovely story that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I also
quite enjoyed the play on words used in the title as it reflects well on the
characters, their careers and the gardening metaphors and symbolisms used in
the novel.
