The judges for The Alan Titchmarsh Show's People's Novelist competition were very complimentary about The Cheesemaker's House and two of them have been kind enough to let me use their quotes to promote the book:
“I desperately want to find out about Owen; a fascinating character... the gift here is to make you want to read on.” Jeffrey Archer
“I really loved the authorial voice – it really drew me in. But more than that I loved the fact that the initial mystery posed is one that I could not think of a possible solution for, so that really got me hooked.” Sophie Hannah

In 1986 Izzie and Robin meet, and are drawn to the Faerie Tree on the banks of the Hamble. The Faerie Tree is reputed to grant wishes, so amongst the ribbons, necklaces, and letters, Robin and Izzie wish for a life together. Just a few hours later, tragedy sets events in motion and their lives take separate paths.
In the winter of 2006, after Izzie’s husband dies, Izzie and Robin’s paths cross once again. They have each faced their own heartbreaking moments, and the tragedies of those moments have colored their memories of their last days together in different ways.
Izzie’s daughter Claire is the voice of calm in the rising tide of emotional outbursts.
This is a story of family relationships, love, and loss. A powerful telling of the events that shaped the lives of the characters, the story unfolds with sensitivity and warmth.
Author Jane Cable developed believable characters that are flawed and anguished, and yet ultimately strong and determined to get beyond their pasts and accept the love each has for the other.
The Faerie Tree was an enjoyable read from page one to the end. Once I started it, I had a hard time putting it down. I recommend it to all fans of women's contemporary fiction.
Why The Faerie Tree? You’ll have to read to find out.
A copy of The Faerie Tree was provided to me by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I am fifty this year and have been writing for my own amusement all my life. In 2011 The Cheesemaker’s House won the suspense & crime category of The Alan Titchmarsh Show’s People’s Novelist competition and it gave me the confidence to share my stories with a wider audience.
