The Old Ticket Office Darling Island
(2023)(The first book in the Old Ticket Office Darling Island series)
A novel by Polly Babbington
One long summer. One gorgeous old shop. One second chance at love.
Get ready to be swept away to Darling Island, the sparkling little place perched on the edge of the English coast where the old ferry crosses a glittering sea, sunshine shimmers, and love is most definitely in the air. From contemporary romance author, Polly Babbington comes the loveliest romantic treat to get lost in at any time of the year.
Emmy is all sorts of okay with her life, but that’s about as good as it gets if she's really honest with herself. One day on a trip to Darling Island in search of the perfect birthday cake, her okay life takes a little turn in a way she most definitely hadn’t seen coming.
As the sun shines and gorgeous old vintage trams rumble past, Emmy finds herself staring at a dilapidated old shop that has seen better days. The building, the setting, and the Darling lifestyle tug at her heartstrings, and on an impulsive whim, she sinks just about everything she has into a completely new way of life.
We follow along, as Emmy not only dips her toe into a whole new world but peels back the layers of her heart, as Darling wraps her up in its charms.
Get ready to swoon as you fall deep down into Polly’s world and Darling Island speaks to your soul. You will utterly love it.
