Book Description
Life hasn't been a bed of roses for Londoner Molly Taylor lately. Newly divorced and struggling to find a new home and a way to support her three boys, she's stunned when her beloved Aunt Helena dies and leaves her Harrington Hall, a three-hundred-year-old manor house on the Devon coast, where Molly grew up. But does Molly really want to run a bed-and-breakfast in an old house where the only thing that doesn't need urgent attention is Aunt Helena's beautiful rose garden? Or care for Uncle Bertie, an eccentric former navy officer with a cliff-top cannon? Or Betty, his rude parrot that bites whomever annoys it? Yet Molly's best friend Lola is all for the plan. "My heart bleeds. Your very own beach, the beautiful house, and Helena's garden. All you have to do is grill a bit of bacon." But with Molly's conniving brother running the family hotel nearby, the return of a high school flame with ulterior motives, and three sons whose idea of a new country life seems to involve vast quantities of mud, this is not going to be easy. And then Harrington Hall begins to work its magic, and the roses start to bloom... Warm, witty, and chock-full of quintessential British charm, A GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROSES is a story for anyone who has ever dreamed of starting over...with or without bacon.

Book Description
This debut popular novel tells the story of a down and out wide receiver given one last shot playing for a second tier football team. Larry's writing style is laugh-out-loud funny and the characters are vivid and memorable. 'This guy Gaffney has got some hard miles on him/in him, but he has come through, and man can he write! Open anywhere, read a paragraph or three, and hear the real thing: mind and heart made vivid by way of the world's body. Save room on your best shelf for him.' -William Heyen / National Book Award Finalist, 2004 'Larry Gaffney is incredibly adept at creating characters who drive themselves, quite reasonably, towards excrutiating failure. Indeed, much of the humor and pathos of Larry's writing comes from watching-through your fingers- each of these characters' understandable and ill-fated decisions.' -Wayne Gladstone, Author
