Summary

The delicious new novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Heidi Swain:

Fliss Brown has grown up living with her mother on the Rossi family’s Italian fruit farm. But when her mother dies, Fliss finds out she has a family of her own, and heads back to England with Nonna Rossi’s recipe for cherry and almond tart and a piece of advice: connect with your family before it is too late....

Fliss discovers that her estranged grandfather owns a fruit farm himself, on the outskirts of Wynbridge, and she arrives to find a farm that has fallen into disrepair. Using her knowledge gleaned from working on the Rossi farm and her desire to find out more about her past, Fliss rolls her sleeves up and gets stuck in. But what will she discover, and can she resurrect the farm’s glory days and find a taste of home?

Love this

I love Heidi Swain's books, they never fail to make me feel good. I also love the narrator Karen Cass, so for me a great combination. The characters are all amazing and the way it is written it really makes you want to be a part of the community that these characters live in! I will not hesitate buying any book from this author!

Loved it!

Such a warm, lovely, nice book! Really liked the characters and the storyline. The only mistake I made was listening to it while on a diet! Made it really hard to stick to my plan with all the delicious foods being mentioned!
As soon as I’m done with my diet, I’m making an almond and cherry tart! Lol 🤣

A Taste of Home

I really loved the story in this book. As someone else remarked it was hard to stop listening. The narrator was excellent and easy to listen to. Highly recommended.
