___________________________________

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.

    Cosy Geschichte in Cornwall. Liebenswerte Charaktere und eine Bäckerei mit leckerem Brot. Gemütliche Lesestunden vorprogrammiert. Der kleine süße Papageientaucher war ein kleines Highlight. Schöner Schreibstil ohne großes Drama.

    Eine kleine Insel in Cornwall ist der Schauplatz dieser Geschichte. Polly nimmt von ihrem Leben reißaus und macht ihr Hobby zum Beruf. Schöne Story, die sich leicht leseb lässt. Ich konnte das frische Brot praktisch riechen.
