Little Beach Street Bakery: The ultimate feel-good read from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

Polly is a firm favourite of mine, I loved her character and her personality since the first book so it was wonderful to be reunited with her as she continued her journey and her life on Mount Polbearne. But with a turn of events and other issues popping up, I really felt for Polly as she faced all of this. I really really rooted for Polly, and I was absolutely gripped to the story wanting to know what would happen next and how Polly would cope with everything. I REALLY want to talk about all the events but I’m desperate not to spoil anything, but there is lots of love, friendship, emotion, obstacles, and lots of bread too! I absolutely LOVE Jenny Colgan’s books, they always fill me with such happiness and I love jumping right in and immersing myself in her novels, so I was VERY excited about Little Beach Street Bakery.

Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan | Goodreads

Polly and her husband run a graphic design business together that goes belly-up. Their marriage doesn't survive the stresses of declaring bankruptcy and Polly moves to a dilapidated flat in a small seaside town in Cornwall, as it is all she can afford (slightly hard to believe, knowing how much seafront property goes for in this country, but I'll let it slide). In this novel, I enjoyed getting to know Polly who at the age of thirty-something has to find a new career when the graphic design business she started with her boyfriend goes bankrupt. With so few options at her disposal and rent being so expensive in town, she decides to take residence in a small beach town that seems to be inhabited by folks that are set in their ways. Dieser leichte Roman ist genau richtig, wenn man sich einfach unterhalten lassen möchte und etwas fürs Herz sucht. Die Geschichte ist nicht besonders anspruchsvoll, dafür aber wunderschön und liebenswert. Die Charaktere sind zum Verlieben, und sogar der säuerlichen Vermieterin von Polly kann man im Laufe der Geschichte näherkommen. One response to “ Excerpt, Recipe & Giveaway: Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan” The story has its typical ups and downs of life. It shows the struggles and changes in business and life at home - the friendships - letting go - and doing the right thing - and trusting your feelings.

After being on a spree of bad reads, this one broke the spell. What a delightful surprise. I had requested this book electronically from my library so long ago, I had actually forgotten about it. Now I know why it took so long. It's really good. Although Mount Polbearne is fictional, you will be pleased to know that it is heavily inspired by the very real and the very stunning St Michael’s Mount It makes you think of Narnia, of happy places, of childhood innocence and the charm of Cornwall all in one.

Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery: A Novel Kindle Edition Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery: A Novel Kindle Edition

For fans of Jojo Moyes and Elin Hilderbrand, an irresistible novel—moving and funny, soulful and sweet—about happiness, heartache, and hope. And recipes. Cover the bottom of a trifle dish in sliced bananas. Pour over a tin of dulce de leche (buy it as it is, or simmer a tin of condensed milk for three hours – remember, always make sure the tin is totally covered in water). Wat een gigantische teleurstelling.. Waar ik heerlijk kon wegdromen bij deel 1, kwam ik maar moeilijk door dit deel heen. Ik miste de luchtige sfeer, vond dat er onnodig veel drama was, weinig liefde en ik heb zelfs op het punt gestaan om het boek aan de kant te leggen.. Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! But its St Michael’s Mount which is evoked here and which is magical in it own right. From the old stone road which disappears under the waves as you cross to the island on the other side, the charm and atmosphere is outstanding.

I am beginning to get a little soft spot for Mount Polbearne – a quintessentially Cornish seaside town with cobbled streets, a fishing fleet and a lighthouse, it really does sound the perfect holiday destination and this book in particularly has really got me yearning for the summer to come now. Puffins nest underground in burrows. When the Puffling emerges from the burrow it's at night. He then runs to the sea and spends the next 2-3 years at sea before returning to land. Colgan's Neil and his mate nest in plain sight and the egg can be seen in broad daylight. tsk tsk I suddenly realized that my library books are due Wednesday and I have this one and _News of the World_ still to read. Eek, drinking coffee now to stay up late and get a good ways through another of Jenny Colgan's good novels before farming duty calls in the morning. :-} Stress like this I can handle, no worries. These books essentially follow a collection of characters as they live their lives. There is little in the way of epic plot points or arcs.
