'Reads like a cross between I Capture the Castle and Love, Nina' Cathy Rentzenbrink, Bookseller

Life is full of terrible things. Ghosts of dead relatives, heartbreak . . . burnt toast.

In 1987, Sue Bowl's world changes for ever. Her mother dies, leaving her feeling like she’s lost a vital part of herself. And then her father shacks up with an awful golddigger called Ivana.

But Sue’s mother always told her to make the most of what she’s got – and what she’s got is a love of writing and some interesting relatives. So Sue moves to her Aunt Coral’s crumbling ancestral home, Green Place, along with a growing bunch of oddballs and eccentrics. Not to mention the odd badger or two . . .

There she fully intends to write a book, fall in love, and learn to live decadently.

Campari for Breakfast is a heart-warming, eccentric novel that joins the ranks of great British coming-of-age novels such as Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love.

Critic Reviews

I was really cross when I reached the final few words, because I didn't want it to end. It is brilliant. Heart-rending sorrow, unremitting hopefulness and joy, held together by the delicious comic malapropisms of a startlingly original teenage heroine. An utter delight (Tamsin Greig)
We defy you not to love Sue, the quirky heroine of Sara Crowe's charming CAMPARI FOR BREAKFAST
A sort of upmarket Adrian Mole . . . full of poignancy, humour and shafts of startling perception
Campari for Breakfast is truly, charmingly, battily splendid… Utterly divine!
This charming debut about family secrets reads like a cross between I Capture the Castle and Love, Nina (Cathy Rentzenbrink)
A quirky debut novel as touching as it is funny.
Deeply eccentric and very, very funny, Campari for Breakfast is as charming and humane as its multi-talented author. It's also unexpectedly touching. A delight
Absolutely delightful and charming. I loved it
A quirky unexpected delight (Sam Baker)
