- Synopsis
- &“As cozy as a cup of tea and cake.&”—People&“One of those books you just want to hug to your chest. I loved it so much.&”—Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of While We Were DatingA huge-hearted, redemptive coming-of-old-age tale, a love story, and an ode to good foodNothing could be more out of character, but after fifty-nine years of marriage, as her husband Bernard&’s health declines, and her friends' lives become focused on their grandchildren—which Jenny never had—Jenny decides she wants a little something for herself. So she secretly applies to be a contestant on the prime-time TV show Britain Bakes.Whisked into an unfamiliar world of cameras and timed challenges, Jenny delights in a new-found independence. But that independence, and the stress of the competition, starts to unearth memories buried decades ago. Chocolate teacakes remind her of a furtive errand involving a wedding ring; sugared doughnuts call up a stranger&’s kind act; a simple cottage loaf brings back the moment her life changed forever.With her baking star rising, Jenny struggles to keep a lid on that first secret—a long-concealed deceit that threatens to shatter the very foundations of her marriage. It&’s the only time in six decades that she&’s kept something from Bernard. By putting herself in the limelight, has Jenny created a recipe for disaster?
