Magpie's Tearoom is a cozy haven in bustling L.A. -- a
place for luncheons, baby showers, or simply hanging out.
Its owner, British expat Margaret Moore, relishes
tradition...but between a frustrated chef preoccupied with
her neglectful producer girlfriend and the tearoom's
waitstaff -- a talented but desperate TV star who hasn't
acted since Detective Buck Love went off the air, and a
twenty-something ingénue who'll do anything to get the
part -- her grandmother's scones begin to feel irrelevant.
When the critic from Tea Talk announces she is crossing
the pond to visit, Margaret attempts to marshal her staff.
But, being of the thespian variety, they all want to be
doing something else. Yet despite the high personal drama
at hand, the customers still demand their perfectly
steeped tea and cucumber sandwiches.... As Margaret battles pilot season and produce-coordinator
malfunctions, she begins to lose her will to live...in L.A. But can her L.A. neighborhood do without her tearoom?In
this delightful debut novel with delicious recipes thrown
in, Sandra Harper creates a hilarious world where Earl
Grey and watercress make a meal, buttering the scones may
get you scolded, and nobody does eggs anymore. Warm up the
kettle and pull up a seat -- you don't want to miss High
Tea!
