Imagine getting your life in order after having it turned upside down by your now ex-husband and setting up a successful business growing and supplying vegetables.

And then you walk inadvertently back into his life when you find out he has taken over the local restaurant where you deliver your vegetables to,  especially knowing that he couldn’t cook when you were married!

Worse still, he wants to use your cottage for a television show he is piloting as he is also a celebrity chef.

Thyme Out  is a lovely story with the main character Perdita trying to come to terms with why her ex-husband is back in her life and the emotions she goes through.  Is he as bad as she remembers or can something be salvaged from their past life?

It keeps you on your toes wondering will they or won’t they start building up their relationship again and totally understanding the feelings the character must be going through.  It’s also heartwarming as Perdita has to come to terms with her lifelong friend and support Kitty having a stroke.

This is not the first Katie Fforde book I have read and I am pleased to say this book was just as good.
