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.

Ratings and reviews

Never read books like this but as unbelievable as the story was it was still nice to read. Plus really like the recipes at the back of the book, lovely little bonus.

Small town, quirky romance featuring a puffin, an eccentric tech billionaire, a bee-keeper and a whole lot of bread

An thoroughly enjoyable read taking you through a whole range of emotions. The puffin is delightful.
