About this ebook
'A sheer delight from start to finish' Sophie Kinsella
___________________________________
On a tiny island of the coast of Scotland, a nugget of opportunity awaits . . .
***WINNER OF THE RNA ROMANTIC COMEDY NOVEL AWARD 2018***
'An evocative, sweet treat' Jojo Moyes
'Gorgeous, glorious, uplifting' Marian Keyes
'Irresistible' Jill Mansell
'Just lovely' Katie Fforde
'Naturally funny, warm-hearted' Lisa Jewell
'A gobble-it-all-up-in-one-sitting kind of book' Mike Gayle
Flora is definitely, absolutely sure that escaping from the quiet Scottish island where she grew up to the noise and hustle of the big city was the right choice. What was there for her on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, and no one will let her forget the past. In the city, she can be anonymous, ambitious and indulge herself in her hopeless crush on her gorgeous boss, Joel.
When a new client demands Flora's presence back on Mure, she's suddenly swept back into life with her brothers (all strapping, loud and seemingly incapable of basic housework) and her father. As Flora indulges her new-found love of cooking and breathes life into the dusty little pink-fronted shop on the harbour, she's also going to have to come to terms with past mistakes - and work out exactly where her future lies...

After reading A Very Distant Shore, I was understandably confused when this book started out about Flora's new life in London. Thankfully, the link between London and Mure becomes clear not too far in. I love the insight in to Flora's back story of her life growing up on Mure and the reasons behind why she left. Even more I love how she overcomes these historical issues and settles back into her life with her family and as part of the community. I'm excited for the next instalment
