Three perfect strangers who help each other to believe in themselves again

What they don’t know is that they are going to burst into each other’s world and turn each other’s lives upside down.

The Saturday Place is described as “uplifting, heartwarming and mouth-watering,” by Veronica Henry, author of The Secret Beach. Holly Miller, author of The Sight of You, calls it “tender, warm and thoughtful.” Emily Houghton, author of Before I Saw You, praises it as “a tender story of hope, friendship and the power of community.” Katy Regan, author of Little Big Love, finds it “a warm, wise and really special book... I absolutely loved it.”

Three perfect strangers who help each other to believe in love again

Holly's husband died, and she's lonely. She needs to do something to save herself, quickly. Next thing she knows, she's interviewing for a voluntary cooking job, surprised to be ambushed by a scruffy man who looks like he has a past.

Then Lauren arrives from the homeless shelter. She came to London with nothing but an old train ticket, a teddy bear, and the clothes on her back. With no family, no home, no friends, she doesn't know what love is. People scare her. She's terrified of Angus and Holly. At first.

Each of them finds themselves in the Saturday café at a time when they need something to grab hold of. It might have to be each other...
