Smelling Of Roses Audio CD

Events manager Rosie Burns is used to coping with the unexpected, at work and at home. When her daughter Kate accidentally became a teenage mum, Rosie stepped in, raising her granddaughter Jo so that Kate could pursue her career in international banking. Now Jo works in the family firm alongside accountant Bob (who’s nursing an unrequited love for Rosie) and Tess (whose love life never ceases to amaze). Things are ticking along nicely, until Rosie gets a phone call out of the blue – after fifteen years working abroad, Kate’s lost her job and is coming home… In these four series, Rosie’s life is shaken up as her dysfunctional family and recalcitrant clients cause problems on both the personal and the professional front. Confusion reigns when the company tackles a fundraiser for the Afghans, organising a town twinning causes complications, and, attempting to organise a literary prize, Rosie finds that not everything goes by the book… Meanwhile, Kate’s angling for a position at a major finance company, Jo’s got man trouble – and there’s a potential romantic interest on the cards for Rosie.

Rosie’s War

Rosie Gardiner is ashamed of the vain and cocky girl she used to be – it brought her nothing but trouble. Now she’s a single mum, raising her daughter, Hope, while trying to give the gossips a wide berth – they’d give their ration books to know who fathered the child. Meanwhile the Blitz may be over and Hitler on the run, but that hasn’t stopped him launching his secret weapon on London’s jaded citizens. Rosie’s father wants to take Hope away from danger, but little does Rosie know he has his own reasons for clearing off. For Rosie, trouble never seems very far away…

Kate is convinced the police are missing something, and that someone in the village knows more than they’re letting on. As the investigation deepens, so does her obsession with solving the mystery of what happened to Rosie.

Christmas At Rosie Hopkins’ Sweetshop

Rosie Hopkins is looking forward to Christmas in the little Derbyshire village of Lipton, buried under a thick blanket of snow. Her sweetshop is festooned with striped candy canes, large tempting piles of Turkish Delight, crinkling selection boxes and happy, sticky, children. She’s going to be spending it with her boyfriend, Stephen, and her family, flying in from Austria. She can’t wait. But when tragedy strikes at the heart of their little community, all of Rosie’s plans for the future seem to be blown apart. Can she build a life in Lipton? And is what’s best for the sweetshop also what’s best for Rosie?

Rosie

Growing up in post-war London, Rosie and her sister Jo spend their days longing for their grandparents’ farm, buried deep in the Hampshire countryside – a green paradise of feasts and freedom where they can roam and dream. But when Rosie is ten years old, everything changes. She and Jo lose their father, their London house, their school, their friends, and – most agonisingly of all – their beloved Nanny, Vera, the only adult to have shown them real love and affection. Briskly dispatched to a freezing boarding school in Hertfordshire, they once again feel like imprisoned castaways. But slowly the teenage Rosie escaped from the cold world of the 1950s, into a place of inspiration and mischief, of loving friendships and dedicated teachers, where a young writer is suddenly ready to be born.
