SUNRISE BY THE SEA

In a quaint seaside resort, a charming bakery holds the key to another world . . . Returning to the much loved world of the Little Beach Street Bakery, Jenny Colgan will delight existing fans of the series and entrance new readers with this spellbinding new novel. Marisa Rosso is struggling. Since the death of her beloved grandfather back home in Italy, she can''t seem to find a way out of her grief. She''s a registrar, and knows losing grandparents is a natural part of life, so why does she feel so lost? When she hears a hospital is recruiting in Mount Polbearne, a tiny and remote tidal island off the Cornish coast, Marisa thinks she has found the perfect retreat. Perhaps some solitude is just what she needs to combat her homesickness and rediscover her equilibrium. But Mount Polbearne is a far cry from the sleepy little place she was imagining. Between her noisy Russian piano-teaching neighbour and the hustle and bustle of a community determined to get back on its feet, Marisa finds solitude is not so easy to come by. Especially when finds herself somehow involved with a tiny local bakery desperately in need of some new zest to save it . . . ___________________________________ ****** ''A sheer delight'' SOPHIE KINSELLA ***** ''An evocative sweet treat'' JOJO MOYES ***** ''Nobody does cosy, get-away-from-it-all romance like Jenny Colgan'' Sunday Express ***** ''Gorgeous, glorious, uplifting'' MARIAN KEYES ***** ''This sweet romance will lift your spirits'' SUNDAY MIRROR ***** ''Naturally funny, warm-hearted'' LISA JEWELL
