Spring is coming to The Café at the End of the Pier... A feelgood novella and the start of a brilliant new series... Jo has settled into running her grandparents' little café at the end of the pier in Salthaven. She's given it a spring-clean and a spruce-up and she's getting to know the locals and starting to enjoy life by the sea. But when her Harry, her ex-boyfriend, turns out to be her new accountant, feelings from the past start to flood back. He's here to help sort out the café's finances, which Jo's grandparents left in a mess, but Harry seems to have a hidden agenda and Jo isn't entirely sure spending time with him is a good idea. Jo throws herself into her new plans for the café - turning it into a real café of love by arranging blind dates for some of the regulars. Her own love life might be non-existent, but it doesn't mean she can't bring a little bit of magic to the locals who have made her so welcome. This time she chooses single-dad Ben and doctor Jess. Will they find love at The Café at the End of the Pier? And will Jo manage to put aside her feelings for Harry in order to give the café the future she dreams of for it...? ******** Readers love The Café at the End of the Pier: 'Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye' - Goodreads reviewer 'Heartwarming and made me smile...

Life at the Cafe Berlitz is about the 'other' ex-patriots who lived in Paris in the 50s. These quirky and colorful characters - the impoverished Portuguese marquis, the Maori Latin teacher, and the disgraced Oxford professor - were the author's 'bodyguards' during a decisive period of her life. They lived against the backdrop of post-war II France, when the Algerian war and existentialism were at their peak, and shared the Paris atmosphere with prominent personalities of the time - some of whom the author knew personally. This entertaining book is written with humor, pathos and a touch of the spiritual.

In The World of the Paris Café, W. Scott Haine investigates what the working-class café reveals about the formation of urban life in nineteenth-century France. Café society was not the product of a small elite of intellectuals and artists, he argues, but was instead the creation of a diverse and changing working population. Making unprecedented use of primary sources—from marriage contracts to police and bankruptcy records—Haine investigates the café in relation to work, family life, leisure, gender roles, and political activity. This rich and provocative study offers a bold reinterpretation of the social history of the working men and women of Paris.
