Dona Nicanora's Hat Shop by Kirstan Hawkins

I absolutely loved it - the sense of place was so strong, the characters so delicious and the sense of fun perfect for countering these gloomy timesI hope it does really well... It took me back to the pleasure I had reading Love in the Time of Cholera. * Mavis Cheek *
