Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of The Beach Café and The Secrets of Happiness
Number 11, Princes Square, looks just like the other houses on the Brighton seafront: a Regency terrace with elegant sash windows, a winding staircase, and post piled up in the hall for its tenants. It might be part of the city's history, but it's also a place of brand new beginnings.
Georgie has followed her childhood sweetheart to Brighton but is determined to carve out a career for herself in journalism. Throwing herself into the city's delights is fun and exciting, but before she knows it, she's sliding into all kinds of trouble . . .
Charlotte's in the city for a new start, hoping to keep her head down and somehow get over the heartbreaking loss she's suffered in the past. But Margot, the stylish old lady on the top floor, has other ideas. Like it or not, Charlotte must confront the outside world, and the possibilities it still holds.
A terrible revelation sent Rosa running from London to start again as a sous chef. The work is gruelling and thankless but it's a distraction at least . . . until she comes up against the stroppy teenager next door who challenges her on her lifestyle choices. What if Rosa's passion for food could lead her to more interesting places?
As the three tenants find each other, it's as if a whole new chapter of their lives has begun. The House of New Beginnings is a moving and uplifting novel from bestselling author Lucy Diamond.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We felt like we were catching up with dear friends every time we picked up this feel-good novel about three women who find themselves starting over in an apartment block in Brighton. Georgie has followed her architect boyfriend to the seaside town and gets a job writing an Agony Aunt–type column; Charlotte has come to escape a tragic loss; and Rosa has fled London and thrown herself into her work as a sous chef. These new neighbours bond over Rosa’s sublime cooking—and we delighted in following their burgeoning friendships and funny dialogue.
