Vanessa is starting again at fifty-five after a betrayal ends her thirty-year marriage. It’s time to follow her dream of opening a teashop. She comes across an article about the Museum of Broken Relationships, and realises that she isn’t the only one starting again later in life or nursing a broken heart. Vanessa opens up her shop as a haven for lost souls to share their stories.

‘This is a lovely, complex story about what happens when people let go of the baggage from the past. A pleasure to read! I kept hoping it wouldn’t end.’
