Produktbeschreibung
Summer has arrived in the Cornish town of Mount Polbearne and Polly Waterford couldn't be happier. Because Polly is in love: she's in love with the beautiful seaside town she calls home, she's in love with running the bakery on Beach Street, and she's in love with her boyfriend, Huckle.

And yet there's something unsettling about the gentle summer breeze that's floating through town. Selina, recently widowed, hopes that moving to Mount Polbearne will ease her grief, but Polly has a secret that could destroy her friend's fragile recovery. Responsibilities that Huckle thought he'd left behind are back and Polly finds it hard to cope with his increasingly long periods of absence.

Polly sifts flour, kneads dough and bakes bread, but nothing can calm the storm she knows is coming: is Polly about to lose everything she loves?

Autorenporträt
Jenny Colgan, geboren 1972 in Ayrshire, studierte in Edinburgh und lebt mittlerweile in London. Sie arbeitete sechs Jahre lang als Angestellte im englischen Gesundheitswesen, hatte aber erheblich mehr Spaß an ihren beiden Nebenbeschäftigungen: Cartoons zeichnen und als Komödiantin in Clubs auftreten. "Amandas Hochzeit" ist ihr erster Roman und sorgte in der internationalen Verlagsbranche sofort für Furore, nachdem der renommierte Verlag HarperCollins ihn für eine enorm hohe Summe erwarb. Nach dem überwältigenden Erfolg von "Amandas Hochzeit" hat Jenny Colgan ihren Job gekündigt und widmet sich nun ganz dem Schreiben.
Rezensionen
This sunny read will make you feel drenched in vitamin D until the real thing comes along... There are lots of books about women moving to the country and starting again, but Colgan's fishing village feels real, the characters are funny and the dilemmas genuine. Cosmopolitan
