The jangle of your pocket money . . . the rustle of the pink and green striped paper bag . . .

Lilian Hopkins has spent her life running Lipton's sweetshop, through wartime and family feuds. As she struggles with the idea that it might finally be time to settle up, she also wrestles with the secret history hidden behind the jars of beautifully coloured sweets.Welcome to Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop of Dreams - a novel - with recipes.*Winner of the RNA Romantic Novel of the Year Award 2013*

When Rosie Hopkins moves to Lipton to take care of her great aunt, she expects to make a speedy return to London, her boyfriend Gerard and her job as an auxiliary nurse. She thinks what needs to happen is that she sells the sweetshop and finds a suitable care home for her great aunt. That is not exactly what happens.
I love the way Jenny Colgan writes about this tight knit community in Darbyshire and the characters who live there. It feels like I’m part of little Lipton myself, where everybody knows everybody else and where there doesn’t seem to be much going on unless you look really closely.
Rosie Hopkins’ Sweetshop of Dreams is highly recommended for fans of Jenny Colgan’s other work as well as readers of the chick-lit genre.
