About this listen

The charming new novel from the author of The Canal Boat Cafe. Perfect for cake lovers and old-fashioned romantics!

On your marks, get set… Baking fanatic, Charlie Quilter, still nursing a broken heart, is surprised when her late uncle bequeaths his vintage 1950s Routemaster bus to her in his will. She adored driving around with him in it when she was a child and can’t contemplate selling it.
When Charlie loses her job, her friend Juliette has an exciting idea and suggests Charlie come to stay with her in the picturesque Cornish village of Porthgolow. Thrilled at the chance of a new start, Charlie packs her spatula, her pinny and her cute dog Marmite onto the bus and they head off for a summer adventure…

I haven't listened to, what I consider to be, a 'fluffy' book for a while because I'd geown tired of them. This book far exceeds the 'fluffy' name and is a very well-rounded and interesting story. My eyes did not roll with annoyance once and the story was not easy to predict, like some are.
Thankfully I've already purchased the next 2 in the series during the Christmas sale...I must have known it would be good!

Lovely well-rounded story
