But even the toughest racketeer has a soft spot for Rosie, the adopted daughter of the whole neighborhood and resident ray of sunshine in the local café. A doorstop orphan, her world is filled with a menagerie of neighbors come to nosh and gossip. But as her Uncle Bert and pillowy-plump Aunt Maggie work to make Rosie’s adoption legal, she learns that the woman she has always known as “The Perfumed Lady” is not only a professional tart, she’s also a gin addict and Rosie’s mum. As the real story unfolds and Rosie becomes the target of a plot, the neighborhood’s response will delight readers and leave them hungry for the future titles in this charming new series, which “Maeve Binchy fans will enjoy” (Booklist).
