When she is given the opportunity to move to a remote tidal island off the Cornish Coast, Marisa Rossi decides some peace and quiet might be just what she needs.
Since the death of her beloved grandfather back in Italy, she’s been struggling to find a way out of her grief. Perhaps this will be the perfect place for her to recuperate.
But Mount Polbearne is a far cry from the sleepy little place she was imagining. Between her noisy piano-teaching Russian neighbour and the hustle and bustle of a busy community, Marisa finds solitude is not so easy to come by. Especially when she finds herself somehow involved with a tiny local bakery desperately in need of some new zest to save it . . .

Absolutely loved it. Pure escapism. Highlighting the strength of a united community, and love of life. A joy from start to finish. Thank you Jenny.

Just reading Sunrise by the Sea but, yet, again, Jenny seems to have lost me with her style of writing. Not sure what has happened as I used to love her books but her more recent books have used a style of writing where it’s more like thoughts as they come into her head, rather than structured sentences.
Some pages are filled with almost one sentence which I have to reread as I’ve lost what she was saying, others are just comments.
Sad to say I don’t think I’ll be buying the Christmas book as they all seem to be written in this style now and there are many wonderful authors out there who can tell a story in a better way ????

Oh, my God I love it when a Colgan comes out. I love everything she writes (thought not so keen on the Jenny T Colgan ones) and my heart leaps when I get a notification the next one is ready to buy. Despite writing so many novels Colgan has managed to keep me excited about her next book as she seems to have been able to keep to what makes her writing so enjoyable: rounded, sympathetic characters, descriptions of landscapes and food, funny animals, and absorbing plots. You know where you are with a Colgan!
I think my heart truly belongs to the Island of Mure books, but the Little Beach Street Bakery series has much to recommend it including a portly puffin. In anticipation of this being released, I quickly reread the first three and it was good to remind myself of Polly and Huckle and their strange Cornish village on an island.
This book, number 4, follows familiar characters but introduces two new ones who are the main focus of the story: Maris and Alexei (love Alexei). They are new arrivals to the island and the story traces how one becomes involved in the community of the island rather quickly, while the other – rendered a hermit due to grief – withdraws and hides away. My favourite bit was the skype link to Italy…
Loved every minute – read it in about a day and a half – was like a gorgeous box of chocolates without the calories. (However the chocolate I ate while reading it, unfortunately, did)
If you haven’t read Jenny Colgan start with her very early lovely ones: Amanda’s Wedding, Do you Remember the First Time, The Good the Bad and the Dumped, for example then grab a copy of A very Distant Shore (Mure no 0.5) and fill your boots with stories of the wonderful Scottish town of Mure.

I love Jenny colgan. I’m not a big reader but she paints the characters so well you get a connection
by A Reader
This was the first Jenny Colgan book I had read and I can honestly say it won’t be the last. I found it a good easy read, not overly complicated but with characters and a storyline that were easy to follow.

Got this book for my holiday as I love Jenny Colgan books especially the seaside bakery series. Love Neil the puffin. This was a little slow at the start for me. But it soon got better and I really got into the story. In the end I absolutely loved it. I really hope there will be more in the series.
