Elsewhere in town, high school teacher Patricia has given up on her dreams of travel and adventure and has moved back home to look after her ageing parents, while cafe owner Dorothy is struggling to accept that she may never have the baby she and her husband so desperately want. Each woman has an unspoken need: reconnection. And that's how they find themselves at Orange Blossom House, surrounded by perfumed rainforest, being cajoled and encouraged by their yoga teacher, the lively Sandrine. Together, they will find courage and strength - and discover that life has much more to offer than they ever expected.Set amid the lush beauty of tropical Queensland, Thursdays at Orange Blossom House is a heartwarming story of friendship and family, of chances missed and taken, and the eternal power of love.Praise for Sophie Green:'A tender, heartwarming read' New Idea'An upbeat story about suburban life and female solidarity' Spectrum'A delightful novel about the power of female friendship' Sunday Age'Reading this book was like snuggling beneath a warm beach towel after a bracing dip in the ocean' JOANNA NELL'Tender, intimate, heartwarming, fulfilling and Australian as a lamb roast and full-bodied shiraz' The Australian Women's Weekly

Not my usual read. Given to me as a gift by a young friend who says she reads “ fluff” . Well this was very fluffy 😊
TBH after the first few chapters I did a speed read. Main characters of differing age and stage in life so perhaps a character for most of us to relate to . Definitely chick lit. My sort of ending . Don‘t think I‘ll be following up on her other books. 😏.
