Trade ReviewI loved it - a perfect blend of sweet and spice. * Jenny Colgan on The Tea Chest *
You will want to move into the wonderful world of Josephine Moon's
The Tea Chest - it is so self-assured, so beautifully written, so evocative with its sense of place and smell. Really glorious on every level. And what a cracking story. * Cathy Kelly on The Tea Chest *
It's feel-good commercial fiction with a lot of sensual description and a happy ending. * Sydney Morning Herald *
