The lines between the online library and physical books are blurring even further thanks in part to digital bestseller Cathy Bramley. Ivy Lane was originally released as four seasonal novellas. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter have now been bound into one single novel. Tilly has recently arrived in Kingsfield, Derbyshire. Recently heartbroken, the part-time teacher attempts to build a new life, hoping to lose herself working on her allotment at Ivy Lane. Instead what she finds is a hotchpotch of gardeners opening their arms to welcome her. The final drops of Tilly’s attempts for a quiet life disappear when a TV documentary film crew arrive on site. This is a fabulously light-hearted romance perfect for the beach and upcoming spring evenings. The characters all feel like people you would expect to find on a British allotment, from the committee members to the novice gardeners whose fingers are more black than green.
