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

Product Information

Door de fijne, vlotte, beeldende schrijfstijl van Jenny Colgan word je het verhaal ingetrokken, bevind je je op het getijdeneiland en kon ik niet meer stoppen met lezen. Polly krijgt in dit deel heel wat voor haar kiezen, en hoewel ik sommige ontwikkelingen vrij snel vond gaan en ik bepaalde keuzes van enkele personages niet goed begreep en daardoor af en toe de connectie met hen even kwijtraakte, maakt de sfeer in dit boek veel goed! Je voelt de kou, ruikt de heerlijke broodjes en watertandt bij het idee van de speciale chocolademelk. Je gunt Polly een gelukkig leven en hoopt dat alles uiteindelijk goedkomt. Er zitten veel mooie en grappige momenten in het boek en het einde is geweldig, liefdevol en hartverwarmend. Dit is een fijn verhaal over liefde, vriendschap, familie, moeilijke keuzes, twijfels over de toekomst, hard werken en je hart volgen. Ik heb genoten van deze serie en wil alleen nog maar meer lezen van Jenny Colgan!

I rarely read Christmas themed books at any time of the year, yet as soon as I saw this one I knew it would come home from the library with me. It is just the thing for those times you want something light and feel good to read. And I was not disappointed. Even though at times things seem a bit over the top, I was happy to go along with it. It was easy to be drawn into the stories and problems of these characters. After reading Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery, book three in the Little Beach Street Bakery series did I just have to read the first book because I found the one I read marvelous. Along with the inspiring setting, are the descriptions of delicious breads and goodies that Polly makes at her bakery. What a life! 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've been craving fresh-baked artisan bread all day...and honey. Lots of raw honey. Thanks for the carbs Jenny Colgan. While there, she is surprised to find that her life can still thrive even in the midst of heartbreak and perceived failure. I loved all of the scenes where she actually baked the bread and thought about bread - it was fun to learn about all the different types and what you need to do to make them.

Little Beach Street Bakery (4 book series) Kindle Edition

You smell of gingerbread… It’s awesome. It makes me horny and hungry all at the same time. They’re going to ban me from supermarkets. I’m going to turn into Fru T. Bunn, the pervy baker. A quiet seaside resort. An abandoned shop. A small flat. This is what awaits Polly Waterford when she arrives at the Cornish coast, fleeing a ruined relationship.

I enjoyed the humor and romance Jenny Colgan brings out in the novel, and I also appreciated the varying voices of her characters as they struggled with some rather complicated moral and just plain emotional issues. People make some pretty stupid choices--or even choices we don't agree with. When it's a friend or someone you love, how do you react? Do you stand by them? Take a superior moral stand? Straddle both? Especially when so much is at stake. It's often the blurbs that convince me to read a book, and it was the last paragraph of the above one that especially captured my attention. As a result, I had a built in expectation of what was coming as I read. By the time I reached the end, I wondered if maybe I missed something. There was a big storm. And it did cause a lot of havoc. However, events didn't play out quite the way the blurb suggests . . . La autora también mezcla muy bien momentos graciosos con algo de tensión y drama, paseándose en variadas emociones.
