New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan returns to the
setting of her beloved Little Beach Street Bakery series for a timely
and heartfelt novel set in a Cornish seaside village.
Marisa Rossi can't understand why everyone else is getting on with their
lives as she still struggles to get over the death of her beloved
grandfather, back home in Italy. Everyone loses grandparents, right? Why
is she taking it so badly?
Retreating further and further from normal life, she moves to the end of
the earth--the remote tidal island of Mount Polbearne, at the foot of
Cornwall, hoping for peace and solitude, whilst carrying on her job as a
registrar, dealing with births, weddings, and deaths, even as she feels
life is passing her by.
Unfortunately--or fortunately?--the solitude she craves proves elusive.
Between her noisy Russian piano-teaching neighbor, the bustle and
community spirit of the tiny village struggling back to life after the
quarantine, and the pressing need to help save the local bakery, can
Marisa find her joy again at the end of the world?
