The Red Cabbage Café
In this tragicomic tale of an innocent abroad in early 1920s Moscow, Humphrey Veil, an Anglo-American-German engineer uncompromisingly devoted to Lenin, is working with the Soviets to build their new subway system. He falls in love with the formidable Sophia, an artist who fashions lifelike wax mannequins and divides her love life in comradely fashion between Humphrey and Gritz, a bearish stereotype of the Russian poet. When Lenin dies and Stalin comes to power, trouble is in store for Humphrey: like so many foreigners who go abroad to do good works, his altruism is rewarded with failure and hardship.

Anna was stuck in a dead-end job and a loveless marriage. Once her children had flown the nest, she realised she needed to make some major changes to uncover the person she once was, the confident and spirited individual she had been. As hard as it would be to move out of the family home and regardless of how apprehensive Anna felt about going alone, she was much more scared of staying. After gathering all the courage she could muster and having made many plans, Anna and her trusted dog, Teddy, set out to the Norfolk coast to build a new life. Anna had rented a small wooden beach house she had come across while walking Teddy along the coast, it needed quite a bit of TLC, but Anna was up for the job, imagining the beach walks her and Teddy could enjoy and the view of the sea that would greet her each morning, Anna was sure this would be a good place to start her new life. Anna was welcomed in the community and one particular resident, a very colourful lady named Maggie, decided to take Anna under her wing. Maggie was a pillar in the beachside community, and she knew everyone and everything that went on. A twist of fate and a little help from Maggie led Anna to a run-down beach café which, like herself, needed re-building. What Anna didn’t expect was who this little café would bring into her life or the person from her past who would come back to haunt her and the adventures she would have along the way.
