Polly is disconsolate. She thought she had it all, the perfect yuppie lifestyle in Plymouth. She is 32 and has worked tirelessly marketing and managing her artist boyfriend’s graphic design consultancy. Now, with the sudden economic downturn and the competitive nature of new technologies, the bank has foreclosed. Chris just wants to shut out the world and slink back to his mother's, leaving Polly bereft, homeless and confused as she struggles to start over again away from the rat race. Faced with the prospect of grungy student flat shares, she looks further afield for new affordable accommodation and finds a neglected tidal island in Cornwall connected by a causeway to the mainland. In the harbour, there is a dirty, derelict building for rent. The upstairs loft is over a disused bakery.
Jenny Colgan includes some tasty bread recipes at the end of the book. She has tried to make them as easy as possible for readers without fancy baking equipment.
If you find books featuring mouth-watering recipes a delectable delight then why not sample Joanne Harris’ charming [[Chocolat by Joanne Harris|Chocolat]], experience Jenny Colgan’s [[The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris by Jenny Colgan|The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris]] and [[Welcome to To Rosie Hopkins’ Hopkins' Sweetshop of Of Dreams by Jenny Colgan|Welcome to To Rosie Hopkins’ Hopkins' Sweetshop of Of Dreams]] or for more on the language of food and its equation to comfort, [[Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder]] . They focus on resourceful characters starting over after a turbulent time and play on the reader’s culinary senses.
