The Cafe by the Sea

A Novel

De: Jenny Colgan

Narrado por: Sarah Barron

The beloved author of The Bookshop on the Corner returns with a sparkling, sunny, soulful new novel perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand.

Years ago, Flora fled the quiet Scottish island where she grew up -- and she hasn't looked back. What would have done on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, where no one will let her forget the past. In bright, bustling London, she can be anonymous, ambitious... and hopeleslly in love with her boss.

But when fate brings Flora back to the island, she's suddenly swept once more into life with her brothers -- all strapping, loud, and seemingly incapable of basic housework -- and her father. Yet even amid the chaos of their reunion, Flora discovers a passion for cooking -- and find herself restoring dusty little pink-fronted shop on the harbour: a café by the sea.

But with the seasons changing, Flora must come to terms with past mistakes -- and work out exactly where her future lies...

Funny and heartfelt, The Café by the Sea is a delightful summertime novel that puts a modern twist on the classic Seven Brides for Seven Brothers story.

Love to this book!

I wish I knew where this island was. or if it even exists. it sounds so beautiful and friendly I would love to go there. a very comforting and pleasing book.

Love Jenny Colgan!

After finding one of her books in a neighborhood take/leave a book, I have become a fan. This was my second book by this Author. I very much enjoyed it! The great narration made this book much more fun than if I had read in a book format. Please keep writing books Mrs. Colgan!

Took a chance

Ever so glad I did. This was a very enjoyable book. Detailed descriptions of the location and people. You could almost smell the sea, hear the birds, taste the food. I’ll be looking for more from this author and narrator.

Story was Good

The child's voice actually took away from the story. I had read reviews saying that it was bad but I thought, it might just be perspective. Nope; I got through it painfully but hesitate to listen to the next book in the series.

Loved this heartfelt story of family and community

I cried multiple times at the idea that things like this could exist. Also…totally got in the mood for many foods while listening.
