Product Description

Review
'This is a most seductive novel. You'll be charmed by the novels heroine - her intelligence, her courage, her great heart. Despite her suffering - a lost love, a tragic family - there are moments you will want to cheer. It's the kind of novel where the writing is so fluid you feel the author simply loves telling her story. This is a splendid, heartwarming novel of pain, struggle, decency, triumph - and just what we need in these times.' Frank McCourt 'I loved this vividly researched and wonderfully rumbustious yarn - brilliantly told, great fun to read.' Simon Winchester 'The Tea Rose is the kind of book that calls for a rainy day, a cozy chair and a good, steaming cup of tea. It's strong and satisfying, with a taste that lingers in the memory.' Paula Cohen 'Bold, brisk and beguiling, The Tea Rose is a splendid brew of a book.' Sam Twining 'It's so much fun...This is London in the 1880s, the London of Charles Dickens and Edward Rutherford, a teeming, messy place full of business, dirt and poverty. Once in New York, we trip from the tenements of the Lower East Side to elegant dining at Delmonico's, with hardly a paragraph to catch our breath...The atmosphere of both starring cities is created in satisfying detail. One can walk the streets and listen to the people chat in the company of Jennifer Donnelly, who has done her historical homework...She delivers.' Washington Post --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my God what a book!, 6 April 2006
By M. Lugg "bookworm" (Helston, Cornwall United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tea Rose (Paperback)
This book blew me away. I have not previously read any of Jennifer Donnellys' books and just happened to stumble across a mention of this book on someone's listmania and have not been disappointed.
The Tea Rose is a story of rags to riches but with such real characters, a heroine that you actually like and with some brilliant twists and turns along the way. This books had me laughing and crying in places and only took me three days to finish it's 782 pages. Read this book you won't be disappointed READ THIS BOOK. Can't wait for the sequel, The Winter Rose, in November.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compassionate, 13 Sep 2004
By Arwen Evenstar (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tea Rose (Paperback)
Jennifer Donnelly is a truly gifted and compassionate writer. Fiona Finnegans Story touched my heart and I even cried with her, when her father died. I couldn't put this book down and I can highly recommend it. A wonderful story and beautifully written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fan-Bloody-Tastic!, 2 Feb 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tea Rose (Paperback)
I was given this book as an Xmas present & was not impressed at all to begin with!

When I'd finished all my other books I found this one & thougt I'd start it before something else took my fancy but I just could not put this book down - This is the most fantastic, amazing journey through poverty to wealth I have ever read. It's like a modern day Catherine Cookson with abit more sex!

I just recommend it completley! I thought it was fan-bloody-tastic!

Sorry for the spelling - Mine is rather crap!
