THYME OUT KATIE FFORDE TV

One day there is a new chef in the hotel which is to be delivered by Perdita. She became the most important person in Perdita's life.

Next to her lives Kitty, already 87 years old and the godmother of her own mother. She is single and not even interested in dating. Perdita, just turned 30 years old, started after her divorce a delivery with organic herbals and vegetables to a near restaurant. However, notwithstanding those points, and Perdita's inability to use a mobile phone (again, she's only 30 not 90), I enjoyed this cosy second-chance romance. Rape is a violent crime, a violation of a person and to use it to describe a consensual actĪnd as I didn't cuddle him, only hugged him that time he brought me home after Christmas, and didn't actually let him rape me in the ladies' powder room at Grantly House, I must have pretty much got Lucas out of my system.įinally, I was rooting for Lucas until (view spoiler). I truly wish her publisher would just do a search and replace in all her digital books because she uses the word in several books and uses it wrongly. Second, and this is a particular bug bear of mine with Katie Fforde's novels, she uses the word rape where she means ravish.

However, it is a product of its time (first published in 2001 I think).įirst there are some dated references to a long-defunct TV show called Changing Rooms (Katie Fforde was clearly obsessed with the show because it seems to feature in so many of her novels). I really enjoyed this, after starting and putting down half a dozen books, including several ARCs which are overdue for a review because the books have already been published, I devoured this in a single day. Has Lucas changed and could this be a second-chance romance? Lucas has been offered a pilot TV show and the producers want to use Perdita's tiny, picturesque cottage for filming and have Perdita herself as a side character! Perdita was only 18 when they got married and the marriage broke down after Lucas started staying out all night, had an affair with an older woman, and generally behaved atrociously. When delivering her usual daily boxes of vegetables, salads and herbs to the local hotel restaurant she is dismayed to find out that the new chef is none other than her ex-husband Lucas, last seen a decade ago when he was a stockbroker or something equally high-pressured in the City (of London). She is making a precarious living, helped by the fact that her neighbour, Mrs Kitty Ansen, allows her to use her grounds for Perdita's polytunnels. Perdita Dylan has a small specialist nursery growing unusual vegetables and herbs for the local restaurants and health club.
