About this audiobook

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 favorite 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.

Ratings and reviews

It was a cute read, but was slow and didn't meet my expectations for what I hoped it was going to be like. I give 💖 to 💖💖 for romance.

Deliciously descriptive and humorous.
