Tales from Hake on Spinach

by Faith Bretherick

Genre: General Fiction

A wry contemporary tale concerning the inhabitants of the picturesque village of Hake on Spinach and surroundings and their lives, loves and misdemeanours. Enjoy this quintessentially English tale which commences in Hake Hall, home to Nigel and Isobel Lamington-Krill, and meet Helena Ruby Tremble, their housekeeper and our heroine. Helena Ruby’s marriage is not a happy one but despite one or two false starts, she eventually finds romance and happiness in the most unlikely quarter. Watch things slowly unravel for Nigel as his dishonest chickens start coming home to roost, discover the concerns and peccadillos of ladies who lunch and learn Ronald Arthur Tremble's dark secret. So why not join Helena Ruby, the Lamington-Krills and a host of other characters for a light-hearted romp around a fictional leafy English county, and while you're there, call in to the Raddled Beanpole for a refreshing pint of local ale?
