About this listen

Were you a sherbet lemon or chocolate lime fan? Penny chews or hard boiled sweeties (you do get more for your money that way)? The jangle of your pocket money… the rustle of the pink and green striped paper bag… Rosie Hopkins thinks leaving her busy London life, and her boyfriend Gerard, to sort out her elderly Aunt Lilian's sweetshop in a small country village is going to be dull. Boy is she wrong. Lilian Hopkins has spent her life running Lipton's sweetshop, through wartime and family feuds. As she struggles with the idea that it might finally be time to settle up, she also wrestles with the secret history hidden behind the jars of beautifully coloured sweets.

Good not great

I loved the small English town setting & the description of the sweet shop. Some interesting & humurous characters, but the protagonist's boyfriend was so irritating! Some inappropriate scenes that weren't necessary to the storyline & I would've rathered they not be there. I mean, can we please get through a modern day romance with no sex scene? (Particulary one about a sweet shop) It just cheapens it.
