What a lovely tale Joanna Nell has told us with The Tea Ladies of St Jude's Hospital.

My mother worked at a hospital for a lot of my childhood, and my sister spent a huge chunk of time int he children's ward at the same hospital,so as I was reading this story, I was picturing the cafeteria at that hospital.

And yes, I could see the Hilary, the Joy and the Chloe in the ladies that ran that cafeteria.

I enjoyed peeling back the layers of these ladies as the story progressed, and the friendships that they build. These three ladies shouldn't work, would never have met outside of the cafe environment, but they really do come together well and their friendships are true.

I also love how they come together really is fun and the way their attitudes to life shift is something we could all learn from.

This was my first Joanna Nell novel, but I will definitely be reading more in the future.
