THE CORNER SHOP IN COCKLEBERRY BAY

Book ID/图书代码： 08090019C00002

English Summary/英文概要： Rosa Larkin is down on her luck in London, so when she inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a quaint Devon village, her first thought is to sell it for cash and sort out her life. But nothing is straightforward about this legacy. While the identity of her benefactor remains a mystery, he - or she - has left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.

Rosa makes up her mind to give it a go: to put everything she has into getting the shop up and running again in the small seaside community of Cockleberry Bay. But can she do it all on her own? And if not, who will help her succeed - and who among the following will work secretly to see her fail?

There is a handsome rugby player, a sexy plumber, a charlatan reporter and a selection of meddling locals. Add in a hit and run incident and the disappearance of a valuable engraved necklace – and what you get is a journey of self-discovery and unpredictable events.

With surprising and heartfelt results, Rosa, accompanied at all times by her little sausage dog Hot, will slowly unravel the shadowy secrets of the inheritance, and also bring her own, long-hidden heritage into the light.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 羅莎在倫敦為生活而辛苦掙扎，因此當她意外從某個不認識的親戚那邊繼承了德文郡小村莊裡一間瀕臨廢棄的街角小店，她的第一個想法是把它賣掉，換成現金，重新開始自己的生活，然而事情沒她想得那麼簡單。

儘管她的贊助人的身份仍然是個謎，但他(或她)仍留下了一個重要的法律條款：這家店不能出售，只能轉讓給真正值得的人。於是羅莎決定一試：把她所有的一切都投入到這家店裡，並在考克貝利海灣街角重新開張營業。

但她能一個人完成所有的事情嗎？如果不行，誰能助她一臂之力，誰又會樂見她的失敗呢？

令人心動的邂逅、神秘的珠寶遺失案件，一個充滿了無法預測事件的自我發現之旅，即將展開！ (Zoe)
