Description

‘This was a place for love, for proposals and weddings, couples and happy families. Our hurting hearts were awkward and out of place.’

Grace believed she had the ideal marriage, but after Dan dies, she finds proof he had another family. Kat can’t admit that her father was less than perfect. Mother and daughter go to Montenegro to find out the truth.

But when they track down Rosa and her son, while Grace is heart-broken, Kat can’t help being thrilled to have a brother. Kat is a bullied sous chef in London, and starts helping out ‘just for a few days’ at Rosa’s restaurant, the Café Lompar. Soon both women are torn between their old and new lives, facing impossible choices.

Can Kat find what she's looking for? Will Grace let herself trust again? Can a journey that begins with betrayal ever end in joy?

A Note From the Publisher

Jacqui and Anna Burns are a mother and daughter writing team. Anna, a doctor and trainee psychiatrist, and Jacqui, an English teacher, visited Montenegro in 2019 and were captivated by its beauty. Living over two-hundred miles apart, they wrote Love at Café Lompar by writing alternate chapters and emailing them to each other, keeping each other’s spirits up through lockdown and fulfilling a life-long dream. This is the first novel for both of them and they are working on a sequel, reluctant to leave the Lompar family they have grown to love.

A book fully worthy of five stars and a great read from start to finish.

When Grace’s husband Dan dies she finds he has another family in Montenegro. Grace and her daughter Kat decide to go to Montenegro to see Rosa and her son and the chapters are written by both Grace and her daughter Kat, giving the feelings of both women.

Kat is thrilled to find she has a half brother and soon offers her help in the cafe Rosa runs.Grace finds meeting the second family more difficult.

I do hope there is a second book to come. I would love another visit to Montenegro and catch up with the blended family
