Recipes for Cherubs
 'If I were you, Catrin Grieve, I’d let the past be. You know, people who go digging about looking for things often wish they hadn’t.’
Dispatched by her feckless mother to spend the summer with two great-aunts she’s never met, little does Catrin Grieve realise her life will change forever. Why has her mother never told her about these aunts and the hotel they run on the Welsh coast? Why did she leave so abruptly fourteen years before and never go back? Suddenly Catrin is drawn into a world of adult secrets she cannot understand.
Matters improve only when Catrin stumbles across a 200-year-old Italian cookbook entitled Recipes for Cherubs. As she discovers more about the extraordinary history behind the beautifully illustrated book, she finds herself delving into a number of interlocking mysteries from the past.
It’s only when those mysteries gradually unfurl that Catrin comes to realise that people from the past can sometimes interlace with the present and point a way forward into the future.
‘Mystery, fairy tales and wonderfully observed characters are all wrapped up in this magical novel’ She on Dandelion Soup |
