Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “The Sugar Palace” by Fiona McIntosh… Here is what the QBD crew thought:
One of Australia’s most prevalent authors, Fiona McIntosh, has written another gripping novel that will have you hooked from page one, “The Sugar Palace”.
Close to the commotion of the Sydney Harbour Bridge being built, Grace Fairweather is working in her father’s grocery shop when she begins making her own confectionary. Soon, her delicious creations of chocolates and lollies become very popular with the local residents, and Grace begins to dream of owning her own sweetshop one day. The irresistible and outlandish, Alfie Sweeting, sweeps Grace off her feet and makes her question her engagement to Norman. With Grace’s business ingenuity and Alfie’s innovative sales abilities, it appears that they are a perfect pair. However, when Alfie’s criminal past resurfaces, both of their lives are threatened, and Grace is forced to make an impossible choice.
McIntosh creates a thrilling page-turner with the contrast of the colourful and charming confectionery store to the dark underbelly of Sydney’s organised crime world and leaves the reader guessing what will happen next. For a fast-paced romance filled with secrets, adventure, and plenty of twists, we highly recommend this title.
