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.

"I love Jenny Colgan's books. I've read and listened to many of her books and will continue to do so. While I found this title a little bit corny, my bigger issue was with the chouce of narrator. The narrator did a very good job but her voice was not right for this book. I was a little confused in the beginning of the book because the story describes a woman much younger than the reader sounds. I found it to be very distracting for the rest of the book and it took away from my enjoyment. "
