Excellent story about love and deception and lies. Think Binchy but without all the unnecessary stuff she ads. This book was short sweet and to the point. I could not put it down today.

This book is set in Belfast Ireland. After I read the last page, I was torn about how I felt about this book. I think another person put it correctly about this being Flawed Characters. That puts the story more into prospective and helps me come to terms with the characters choices. I was so disappointed that so many characters were not in a happy marriage, and how easily they discarded their mates. Not is a cruel, or even dramatic way, overall, almost without emotion, time to change the lightbulb, or get a new pair of shoes, or this color really doesnt suit me.

I still liked the book, and would recommend that it gets read but it was not so deep and profound, and all their lives kinda wrapped up real quickly at the end. At least everyone found happiness, which makes for a nice ending.

I love how Sharon Owens creates characters whose lives intersect in almost the most trivial ways, but each of them have incredibly compelling individual stories. I really enjoyed "The Tea House on Mulberry Street" as it delves deeply into some deeply flawed characters' lives and we see the author wrap each mini story up nicely with a bow.

I loved this book--such a comfy read. I loved the cafe setting and the couple that owes the cafe. The regulares that come each day make for a small hometown feeling that is just what i wanted when i picked this book up. There really is a lot going on here in this tea house with the discription of the yummy smelling soups and breads {even a few recipes} to the special seating that each regular has, makes me want to go to the Tea House on Mulberry Street. Loved the book.

A delightful story set in Ireland. Full of every day people and their lives, loves and jobs. The story moves along easily centered at Muldoon's Tea Room. It even has a cherry cheesecake recipe!!!
