Anita Belli

Once Upon a Blue Moon Anita Belli

When Hollie bumps into Rory on Camden High Street on a wet day in February, it seems that her long held secret is about to be uncovered. They were lovers, years ago, until college days ended, and Rory took off to find his brilliant career. Hollie found herself stranded in the world of single parenthood with her son Tom, and as a waitress at The Blue Moon Café, is struggling to make ends meet. When Rory reappears in her life, perched as he is on the edge of success, Hollie realises just how far she has let her own potential slip. And how dangerous it would be to admit her secret after all this time. A TV company wants to make a documentary about The Blue Moon Café in Camden Market, as an example of the declining art of the 'greasy spoon'. Rory gets roped in, but when Hollie's sister Libby goes into labour during the shooting, all hell breaks loose, and Hollie's secret unravels in a very public way. With the help of the film crew and the lively clientele from The Blue Moon Café, the solution unfolds on screen where sparks fly between Hollie and Rory. And where Rory and Tom together build a bridge directly into Hollie's heart.
