About this listen

A poignant and heart-warming tale about family, relationships and new beginnings, The Summer Seaside Kitchen is best-selling author Jenny Colgan at her best. A must for fans of lighthearted comedy and cooking, this charming story will make you reminisce about your own family ties.

Flora is forced to move back to the tiny island of Mure from the bright lights of London. It's tough: even the beautiful landscapes and bright blue sea can't lift her spirits - she's too busy looking after her dad and her feckless brothers. Then she chances upon her mum's collection of recipes and begins to cook her way through it. As she reconnects with her family and the place she was born, might she also find herself?

Would you consider the audio edition of The Summer Seaside Kitchen to be better than the print version?

This is a delightful summer story, romantic and eventful and is brought to life really well by the narration.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the Nordic and folklore influences of the story.

Any additional comments?

I would really recommend this Audible edition of the story. It is well read and easy to listen to, engaging the listener. This is the first Jenny Colgan book I have listened to but I will be looking out for more!

An easy listen that kept me entertained. My only negative was the narrator’s three year old voice. Has she ever heard a three year old speak? Apart from that a nice narration. I’d recommend this as an easy listening for your holidays.

Pleasurable listening

I feel like I have just been on holiday to Scotland and thoroughly enjoyed the visit! The story held my attention throughout and was beautifully narrated by Sarah Barron. I particularly enjoyed her singing which was truly beautiful and I could have listened to a lot more.

A charming, engaging story......
