I was speaking to my good friend Tanya the other day (you'll find her on twitter @tanyainwales) and she mentioned wanting to join a book club, which got me thinking... I used to belong to a book club but i only really enjoyed a a few of the books, one of which was one I chose and had already read beforehand. I think the books I choose to read myself aren't usually the types of books that are generally selected in book clubs. Of course there are a few, but you don't see 'The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic' on any book club lists do you?! I'm not talking exclusively Chick Lit/Women's Fiction, as I do enjoy other genres and want to try new books, so please suggest any book you like but I know I am a lot more compatible in book selection with my friends that I've made through blogging and twitter.
Synopsis:Polly Waterford is recovering from a toxic relationship. Unable to afford their townhouse, she has to move miles away from everyone, to the sleepy little seaside resort of Polbearne, 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.
