Then the plan to turn her crumbling home into a tea room hits a snag, the macramé at her sister’s house starts to seriously unravel, and why is her doctor leaving so many messages? Enter Will, a mysterious handyman with a secret stash of chocolate truffles, and soon life – with all its hiccups – is just her cup of tea.

A sparkling, moving, utterly charming new novel from the incomparable Sarah-Kate Lynch Annie Jordan never wanted to go to India: there were too many poor people and the wrong sorts of smells.

This endearing new novel by Sarah-Kate Lynch will reconfirm for her fans what a master she is of humour, exploring and understanding human experience and creating a vivid world around her utterly believable characters.
House of Joy
Bubbly, rich, delicate and delightful, the champagne of the famous House of Peine is everything that Clementine Peine is not. She lost her sparkle, along with the love of her life many years before, and now she's lost her miserable papa too. Still, at least now the precious House is hers. Or is it? First her wicked sister Mathilde returns, determined to poison the future the same way she poisoned the past. Then, out of the blue, a third sister appears - the enchanting but equally unwelcome young Sophie - claiming their surname and causing ancient family rivalries, long-ago love affairs and forgotten scandals to come bubbling to the surface. The glory days Clementine has dreamed of for so long have never seemed further away. But as her cherished grapes must blossom and blend to reinvent themselves and become something truly magnificent - so must she. Only then can the House of Peine become a House of Joy.

Quite the opposite, you could say. Handsome gondolier Marco awakes a hunger in her and sates it with all manner of mouth-watering delicacies, including himself. But Connie also has a hankering for something with a bit more zest, something muscled and tanned with silver hair and an honest heart going by the name of Luca. All second honeymoons should be so sweet! Back home in New York, however, there's more than amore on Connie's plate and none of it to her taste. Her husband is gone, her lover is a stranger, her mother is disappointed. Connie has lost sight of the simple things in life but can the cruellest of blows bring them back? Or is it too late?

In a desperate bid to escape her life as it horribly unravels before her eyes, Molly escapes to the other side of the world with her $4000 wedding dress and her terrifying aunt Vivian. She embarks on a rollercoaster ride through the Irish countryside in search of her long-lost uncle. When she arrives in the seemingly sleepy seaside town of Ballymahoe, she has greasy hair, a fractured arm, a broken heart, three extra kilos and no time at all for the charm of the locals . . .
By Bread Alone
In this funny and poignant novel, a handsome French baker looks like being the secret ingredient to refresh Esme's stale life. But is the recipe for happiness closer to home? 'Esme's bread begged to be eaten. It pleaded. It beseeched. You simply could not be in the same room as her sourdough without licking your lips and instantly realising it was exactly what you felt like eating. No, more than that. It was exactly what you had been missing.' But all is not well in the House in the Clouds. Pog's gorgeous, garrulous, glutinous wife, Esme, is not her usual self. Her attempts at avoiding what's really troubling her are affecting everyone in the family, including her irascible father-in-law Henry and the mad assortment of animals they keep acquiring. What can a desperate, devoted husband do, except wait for the mayhem to abate?
Modern Girl's Guide to Life
About the book: Sarah-Kate Lynch has been writing her immensely popular column for the New Zealand Woman's Weekly since 1999. In that time, and among other things, she has written about knickers, diets, baldness, barbecues, girly weekends, cocktails, Christmas, personalised plates, husbands, wine, DIY, swearing and The Sound of Music, sometimes covering several of these topics within the same column. Not surprisingly, she has gathered a large and enthusiastic following among readers who have to deal with many of the same 'trials of everyday life'. Now readers can enjoy her writing again in this collection of the best of her columns. About the author: Sarah-Kate has been a journalist for nearly 20 years although, frankly, she looks far too young and gorgeous to have been toiling quite so long. Her writing career started when she accidentally applied for a job on a newspaper as a teenager and finished when - oh, that's right, it's still going.
Screw You Dolores
A funny, touching, endearing romp towards happiness by one of New Zealand's best-loved writers. 'In 1997 I wrote my first book about always being on a diet but never being thin. I wanted to call it Screw You Dolores after an anecdote that I felt summed up the attitude I wanted to promote, but my publisher at the time said it was too rude; that little old ladies might be too embarrassed to ask for it or booksellers might want to hide it in brown paper bags. 'In 2013 I wrote my twelfth book and called it Screw You, Dolores. It’s about knowing when to do what someone tells you to do, and knowing when to tell them to stick it up their jacksie.' This first book in Sarah-Kate Lynch's Wicked Approach To ... series tackles the subject of happiness, and how and where to find it — especially when you hit that milestone birthday of 50. Just like its author, it's sharp, full of attitude, funny and sassy. Buy it for yourself or for a friend for a good giggle. And buy it because, as she explores how to make herself happy by ignoring the expectations of others, Sarah-Kate Lynch finds great wisdom too.
House Of Peine
Tender, funny and bubbling with charm, this novel is another delicious drop from best-selling author Sarah-Kate Lynch. When curmudgeonly Clementine’s miserable papa meets his end one frosty French night, she assumes the family Champagne house will finally be hers. Salut! But her celebration is short-lived. Suddenly the broken-down Peine chateau is heaving with unwanted visitors, unpaid debts and secrets perhaps best left buried. This is not the inheritance of which Clementine has so long dreamed but - as her precious grapes battle the elements in the hope of ripening and sweetening and one day re-inventing themselves as something truly magnificent - so must she.
