Little Beach Street Bakery
by Jenny Colgan
Polly's relationship has failed, her business has failed, she is homeless, bankrupt and living on the couch of her all too perfect best friend. Desperate to escape her woes and start rebuilding she rents a ramshackle apartment above a shop on a bleak windswept island.
With nothing else to do, she returns to the love of her life, baking bread. At first she gives it away or trades it but over time she finds she has a small business. But she has to avoid the despotic owner of the town's other bakery who just happens to be her landlord.
Little Beach Street Bakery was quite a magical story about a woman who, in doing what she loves most, manages to revive the fortunes of a small fishing town. It's not all that surprising but with characters I genuinely loved I found myself well and truly pulled into the story and had to set aside a couple of other books I'm reading just so I could focus all my attention on this.
