‘This is a gem. Kate Atkinson fans will love it’ Irish Independent


In a world of lonely hearts, are there enough happy endings to go around?

Marriage matchmaker seeks assistant; discretion essential, rose-tinted glasses optional…
Matchmaker Martha Hart never got her happy ending: the Great War destroyed those dreams. Instead, her life's mission is to bring hope to other lonely hearts, though eligible bachelors are thin on the ground in 1930s Yorkshire.
She hopes her new assistant, April McVey, will breathe new life into the bureau. The irrepressible Irish girl with the knack for putting her foot in it is full of modern ideas, but doesn't appear to have a romantic bone in her body.
When lonely widower Fabian, and his enigmatic sister require their help, the bureau face their toughest challenge. Are Martha and April about to discover that in the search for love, it's possible to find something else that's just as wonderful…?

‘A briskly witty delight’
Irish Times

'A charming treat of a novel, full of heart and hope' Hazel Gaynor

She Wilkinson is the author of eight novels, including critically acclaimed and award-winning books for children. She teaches creative writing in many settings, from universities to prison, and lives in County Down. This is her first novel for adults.
