ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Miss Read heard about the sale of Tyler's Row from the always well-informed Mrs Pringle - and before long Fairacre is alive with rumours. Why were the present owners selling? Was it true that a football poolswinner was about to buy it? Had Tyler's Row been condemned - or was it to be restored?
All rumours are soon laid to rest when Peter and Donna Hale arrive in Fairacre to view Tyler's Row, with plans to knock the middle two cottages into one, and create their own rural haven.
But the Hales soon discover that Fairacre is no Utopia but a normal English village, with all the usual troubles...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Dulcie Ballantyne knows that creative writers' groups attract an unlikely mix of people, so when she starts up Hidden Talents, she is well prepared for the assortment of people she is bringing together.
Beth King is facing empty-nest syndrome as her only son, Nathan, leaves home for university. Jack Solomon, a local estate agent, is having trouble coming to terms with the shock of his wife leaving him for his best friend. Jaz Rafferty is an intensely private seventeen-year-old girl who writes to escape her large, boisterous family. Victor Blackmore is a know-it-all, who claims to be writing the blockbuster novel every publisher will be clamouring for.
What they all have in common is a need to escape, as well as a desire to keep their lives as private as possible. As they grow more confident in their writing skills, friendships develop, and gradually they come to realise that a little openness isn't necessarily a bad thing.
