Daydreams and Doughnut Cake by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafeBook40
Welcome to Book 40 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Daydreams and Doughnut Cake is the latest novella by Rosie Green.
With help from the Little Duck Pond Café girls, Rosie's
Spice Kitchen is becoming a firm favourite at the Lockley Meadow farmers'
market. But when shocking things start happening and a face from the past stirs
up memories she would rather forget, widow Rosie's hopes for a better future
for her and her little daughter, Amelie, are suddenly dashed. Has someone
discovered her devastating secret? The secret that is preventing her from
moving on and finding love again?
Meanwhile, new mum Ellie and step-daughter Maisie are both hiding emotional secrets of their own
My Thoughts
This story follows on from the last in the series. Rosie appeared in the Pop-Up Cake Shop as a customer and has now been persuaded to try her hand at selling her spicy food at the market in Lockley Meadow. A single parent and widow she has struggled to start again but is determined to build a new life for herself and her daughter. You do sense that she has an unresolved issue from her past as she has moved away from her friends and is looking for a new start. Her reaction when she thinks that her past might be returning shows you that whatever happened, it had a profound effect on her.
Rosie seems like an optimistic and hardworking character and she fits in to the friendship group which has sprung and is based around the Little Duck Pond Cafe stories. Ellie has now had her baby and as far as anyone else is concerned, she is managing well but Rosie recognises how hard it is with a new baby and they build quite a rapport. With friendship and new starts at the fore, you feel on solid ground with this story which is just as enjoyable as all the others.
In short: new starts and past friendships
