Hvem har ikke som barn drømt om at have sin egen slikbutik? I denne søde roman får Rosie Hopkins lov til at forlade sit travle liv i London og udleve drømmen i sin gamle tantes butik i en lille engelsk landsby.Lilian Hopkins har tilbragt sit liv bag disken i slikbutikken i den lille by Lipton, men Lilians helbred er ikke, hvad det har været, og butikken har også set bedre dage. Noget må der gøres, men det er ikke nemt, for butikken gemmer ikke kun på glas med farvestrålende søde sager, men også på hemmeligheder fra Lilians unge dage under 2. verdenskrig.Lilians grandniece, sygehjælperen Rosie, indvilger lettere modvilligt i at gøre familien en tjeneste og forlader sit liv og sin kæreste i London for at tage til Lipton, få slikbutikken solgt og sin grandtante installeret på et plejehjem. Og til at begynde med er det bestemt heller ikke den fedeste tjans, men lige så langsomt falder Rosie til blandt de lokale, og hun må spørge sig selv, om det liv, hun havde i London, er værd at vende tilbage til, og hvis ikke, hvad der så er alternativet.Pressen skriver:»Det er sødt og lyserødt, men aldrig rigtig klistret.
