About this listen

Polly Waterford is recovering from a toxic relationship. Unable to afford their flat, she has to move miles away from everyone, to a sleepy little seaside resort in Cornwall, where she lives alone above an abandoned shop. And so Polly takes out her frustrations on her favourite hobby: making bread.

But what was previously a weekend diversion suddenly becomes far more important as she pours her emotions into kneading and pounding the dough, and each loaf becomes better and better. With nuts and seeds, olives and chorizo, with local honey (courtesy of local bee keeper, Huckle), and with reserves of determination and creativity Polly never knew she had, she bakes and bakes and bakes.... And people start to hear about it. Sometimes, bread really is life...and Polly is about to reclaim hers.

Bought this book as a daily deal, which was great as I would never have found it otherwise! It is a thoroughly enjoyable listen with the voices done so well which makes it so escapist.
One of those books that strikes a chord within - who hasn't dreamt of starting afresh when their life collapses around them?

Brilliant, funny, warming book. Great for relaxing

I totally got absorbed into this, the first in the little bakery stories, I listened while I was poorly and it totally made me smile-loved it

So far, one of the best!

The bits with Jaden. He's a funny cheeky lad!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was!

Any additional comments?

At first I wasn't entirely sure about the accents the reader, Anne-Marie Piazza, put on but in the end, I found they were good enough.I found this an easy "read" and very witty. I had to muffle laughters when listening to it in public...I'm looking forward to reading the sequel! And Jenny Colgan's other books too.
I also liked that she gives several recipes at the end of the book, very nice touch!

Funny and entertaining!
