What to expect

Appleby Farm was originally published as a four-part serial. This is the complete story in one package.

Freya Moorcroft has wild red hair, mischievous green eyes, a warm smile and a heart of gold. She’s been happy working at the café round the corner from Ivy Lane allotments and her romance with her new boyfriend is going well, she thinks, but a part of her still misses the beautiful rolling hills of her Cumbrian childhood home: Appleby Farm.

Then a phone call out of the blue and a desperate plea for help change everything…

The farm is in financial trouble, and it’s taking its toll on the aunt and uncle who raised Freya. Heading home to lend a hand, Freya quickly learns that things are worse than she first thought. As she summons up all her creativity and determination to turn things around, Freya is surprised as her own dreams for the future begin to take shape.

Love makes the world go round, according to Freya. Not money. But will saving Appleby Farm and following her heart come at a price?

Appleby Farm is a charming, funny and romantic story for anyone looking for a feel-good, light-hearted read, from the author of bestselling Ivy Lane.

Critics Review

A lovely, sunny, gem of a book that made me feel right at home – full of warmth and wonderful characters that stay with you long after the last page
Alexandra Brown, author of Cupcakes at Carringtons
Brimming with colourful characters and deliciously quirky goings-on, reading a Cathy Bramley novel is as good as a picturesque holiday in the country, maybe even better
Sunday Express
An utterly charming read full of romance and adventure! *****
Woman
Appleby Farm is as sweet and delicious as Freya's scones, and just as moreish. What a cosy, delicious slice of romance!
