Loving Spirits at the Vintage Teashop
The beautiful Cotswold village of Rowan Vale is run as a living museum, allowing tourists to see history in action. But there’s more to the place than any visitor would guess...
Fifty-something Shona grew up in the village and now runs its vintage, 1940s-themed teashop. Not everyone knows that the previous manager, her great-aunt Polly, still lives there too… as a ghost!
When newcomer Max arrives, hoping to find out more about the place where his German grandfather was a prisoner of war, both Shona and Polly are unsettled. Shona, because handsome, interesting Max is the first man to catch her eye since her divorce, and Polly, because she must finally confront the terrible truth about her past.
A 1940s-themed weekend planned for the village brings the families’ connections to a head and tragic secrets to light.
Can Shona help her ghostly great-aunt to find love and forgiveness once more, while also creating her own happy ever after?
The second in the comforting, feel-good, romantic series with a dash of fantasy that started with Kindred Spirits at Harling Hall.

My Thoughts |
Another fun read by Sharon Booth. It doesn't matter whether you believe in ghosts or not read this one in the 'spirit' (pun intended!) it was written - enjoyable escapism.
Rowan Vale is an English Cotswolds living museum tourist attraction - only there are quite a few non-living residents hanging around as well, so when Shona, who grew up in the village, and now runs the 1940s themed tea shop, not everyone is aware that she also has her great-aunt Polly (deceased) there to help (hinder?) her.
In order to bring visitors (and much needed money) to the Living Museum, a 1940s weekend event is planned - which should be a good thing for the residents (past and present) and the village as a whole, but, of course, complications of various sorts arise...
I was a little bewildered at first as I wasn't sure who the narrator was - maybe Shona should have introduced herself to the reader? (Or did I miss something?) And in a few places the pace slowed a little, but no matter, this was an enjoyable read.
This is the second in the series Kindred Spirits at Harling Hall, and can be read as a standalone, but far better to start at the beginning.
**** 4 stars
