Produktbeschreibung
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.

Autorenporträt
Jenny Colgan, geboren 1972 in Ayrshire, studierte in Edinburgh und lebt mittlerweile in London. Sie arbeitete sechs Jahre lang als Angestellte im englischen Gesundheitswesen, hatte aber erheblich mehr Spaß an ihren beiden Nebenbeschäftigungen: Cartoons zeichnen und als Komödiantin in Clubs auftreten. "Amandas Hochzeit" ist ihr erster Roman und sorgte in der internationalen Verlagsbranche sofort für Furore, nachdem der renommierte Verlag HarperCollins ihn für eine enorm hohe Summe erwarb. Nach dem überwältigenden Erfolg von "Amandas Hochzeit" hat Jenny Colgan ihren Job gekündigt und widmet sich nun ganz dem Schreiben.
