Flora's Lot cover

Flora Stanza leaves her London life to join her family's antique business, armed only with enthusiasm and limited knowledge. However, her country welcome is less than warm, leading to unexpected adventures.

In Flora's Lot, Flora Stanza leaves her bustling London life behind to embrace her family's antiques business in the countryside. Although her knowledge of antiques is limited to what she’s learned from daytime television, her enthusiasm is boundless. However, Flora quickly finds herself disappointed by the less-than-warm welcome she receives from the locals. As she navigates her new environment, she faces unexpected challenges, including the imminent arrival of kittens from her cat and the isolation of an abandoned holiday cottage far from her neighbors.

As Flora settles into her new life, she encounters the charming yet enigmatic Henry, who seems intent on inviting her to dinner. Meanwhile, she must also keep her secret lodger, William, under wraps. These complications add layers of intrigue and humor to her journey as she endeavors to save the family business she has come to cherish. Flora's experiences in the countryside reveal that life is anything but dull, filled with unexpected twists and the potential for romance.

Katie Fforde, a bestselling author known for her uplifting and feel-good narratives, weaves a delightful story that captures the essence of love and resilience. Flora's Lot is a heartwarming tale that invites readers to join Flora on her quest for belonging and success, proving that sometimes, the road to happiness is paved with both challenges and charming surprises.
