Publisher's Synopsis
Penny Stanley's seventeen-year marriage to Daniel is falling apart and so is their shabby tea house on Mulberry Street, but its regular customers love the cosy atmosphere and luscious desserts. Penniless artist Brenda Brown sits in the cafe penning letters to Nicolas Cage. Will they ever be answered? Sadie Smith finds refuge from her diet and her husband's ultra-slim mistress in a slice of the cafe's cherry cheesecake and Clare Fitzgerald returns to the tea house after twenty years in New York. As Penny takes action, she discovers the tea house is a magical place with secrets of its own.
