A Book Club is always a good way to bond with those people who share your love of books, but occasionally the group needs a little prompting on discussion topics to get the conversation flowing. Please find below a few ideas to get things started.

- What were you expecting from the book to start with? Did the book meet your expectations? If not, what was different?
- How did the book make you feel while you were reading it? Have any other books made you feel the same way?
- Do you know anyone with a relationship like Aunt Nan and Tansy? Who are they?
- How do you feel about in depth descriptions of food in books? Do you love it or hate it?
- If you could have Tansy make one of Nan’s recipes for you, which would it be?
- Did anyone guess what Aunt Nan’s secret was? How do you feel about the way it effected her life?
- How does the theme of secrets run through the book? Were any of them necessary secrets?
- Which secret was the biggest surprise to you? Were there any that you saw coming?
- How did you feel about the ending? Did everything tie up in the way you wanted it to? Would you have preferred a different ending?
- How did you feel about the way the various romances played out through the story? Are there any couples you feel are better matched than the others?
- How does the book handle the management of grief?
- If you were Tansy setting up a specialist shoe shop, what would you have liked to add or change? Which bit would you find the most exciting?
- The relationship Tansy has with her friends and Aunt Nan are really special in the book. Which do you think is the stronger theme through the book – friendship or romance?
- Have you read any other Trisha Ashley Books? How does this one compare?
