I enjoyed The Colour of Tea by Hannah Tunnicliffe which is set in Macau. A couple, Grace and Pete Miller, are desperate to have a baby but it isn't happening. Pete has a good job building casinos and Grace is at home wallowing in despair and depression. She has a love of cooking and she finds a vacant shop and decides to turn it in to a tea house. This decision gives her the drive to help overcome her depression and get on with making her tea house a success. She learns how to make French macarons, a delicious and dainty accompaniment to a cuppa and she hires staff who become more like family. There are problems along the way while her tea house becomes very popular. A delightful read. 4/5
