If you can call them that with a gruesome murderer running the streets. The author adds an element of suspense with this historical detail as we follow our characters through the day to day aspects of life. Set against the backdrop in East London in 1888, the book opens with a horrendous murder by the man who will come to be known as Jack the Ripper. I had never heard of this book until then and was told by a friend there are two more books in the series, The Winter Rose and The Wild Rose. The cover was striking and the synopsis sounded like one I’d like to read. When I was browsing Book Outlet for some tea books, this one showed up in my search. Best friends since childhood, they have dreams of opening their own shop, selling the best food/produce and of course tea! This was a complete cover/title buy. Young Fiona Finnegan and Joe Bristow stole my heart in the early parts of The Tea Rose. Maybe those people had never loved anyone.”
