A huge-hearted, redemptive coming-of-old-age tale, a love story, and an ode to good food. The refreshments for this meeting will surely be inspired by one of Mrs. Quinn's recipes!
Books are available at the Circulation Desk in limited numbers. We meet the second Thursday of every month at 7 p.m.
About this month's book
Nothing 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. With her baking star rising, Jenny struggles to keep a lid on one memory in particular—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?
