About this ebook

In the bestselling tradition of Jojo Moyes and Jennifer Weiner, New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan's moving, funny, and unforgettable novel Little Beach Street Bakery tells the story of a heartbroken young woman who turns a new page in her life ... by becoming a baker in the town of Cornwall.

A quiet seaside resort. An abandoned shop. A small flat. This is what awaits Polly Waterford when she arrives at the Cornish coast, fleeing a ruined relationship.

To keep her mind off her troubles, Polly throws herself into her favorite hobby: making bread. But her relaxing weekend diversion quickly develops into a passion. As she pours her emotions into kneading and pounding the dough, each loaf becomes better than the last. Soon, Polly is working her magic with nuts and seeds, chocolate and sugar, and the local honey—courtesy of a handsome beekeeper. Packed with laughter and emotion, Little Beach Street Bakery is the story of how one woman discovered bright new life where she least expected—a heartwarming, mouthwatering modern-day Chocolat that has already become a massive international bestseller.

Includes 7 Recipes!

Cornwall, romantic, baker, contemporary, life-changes, audiobook, life-lessons Excellent read from an author I've never encountered. Had to laugh at myself after I got into the story as the book was recommended by my library and I had just finished reading the Corinna Chapman series about a second career baker! Polly's life and perspective have taken a nosedive because she has become essentially bankrupt and her longtime partner is so involved in his own pity party that he can't see that she has problems too. She has to find an exceptionally inexpensive place to live, and here is where the real story begins. Excellent storytelling with some really fun twists! Velda Dehmlow is marvelous as the audio performer!
