Tessa Hainsworth Boeken
After two years, Tessa Hainsworth is no longer the outsider from London. She's finally become accepted into her tight-knit Cornish village community. But everyday life for Tessa is not like the holiday posters. Incomers to the village must tread carefully - if they don't, the village soon lets them know and Tessa finds herself torn between old friends and new. Still struggling to make ends meet, she rents out her home to summer holidaymakers - and helps run a B & B - with hilarious results. Tessa's job as a postwoman involves being an amateur health-and-safety inspector, a shoulder to cry on and a matchmaker, but there's always time for a sandwich in the sun and a bit of beachcombing in her lunch break.
