About this listen

Polly Waterford is recovering from a toxic relationship. Unable to afford their flat, she has to move miles away from everyone, to a sleepy little seaside resort in Cornwall, where she lives alone above an abandoned shop. And so Polly takes out her frustrations on her favourite hobby: making bread.

But what was previously a weekend diversion suddenly becomes far more important as she pours her emotions into kneading and pounding the dough, and each loaf becomes better and better. With nuts and seeds, olives and chorizo, with local honey (courtesy of local bee keeper, Huckle), and with reserves of determination and creativity Polly never knew she had, she bakes and bakes and bakes.... And people start to hear about it. Sometimes, bread really is life...and Polly is about to reclaim hers.

Light and easy, peppered with romance and highlighting that it is possible to begin again, under your own terms. Anne-Marie Piazza's voice is soothing and articulate - an enjoyable audio book. Loved the puffin too!

What did you like best about Little Beach Street Bakery? What did you like least?

The story started out well, but didn't really gain much momentum. It wasn't terrible, but it was just okay. I didn't really identify with the characters and thought they lacked depth.
I liked the narrator, although she wasn't excellent at the American accent for the character of Huckle.

Charming story, good narration, but lacking depty

I love this book so much, have read so many time but this is my first time on the audio book and unfortunately the voice she uses for Huck is killing me and nothing like how he is described. It’s such a shame cause I love the story and most of Jenny’s book.

Voice over makes all the difference

beautifully woven, reminiscent of Nina George Little Breton Bistro and Little Paris Bookshop, so I really enjoyed it. The dubbing or editing of the audiobook seems to be a little choppy in places, not enough to distract you from the story, just something I noticed. The Narrator did wonderfully, with the accents and voices.

lovely story
