About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Mrs Quinn is . . . 77 years old
. . . a devoted wife
. . . a talented home baker
. . . about to become a household name
Jennifer Quinn has a secret. Her love of baking has just won her a spot as a contestant on a primetime TV show. It's only the second time in fifty-nine years that she's kept something from her beloved husband Bernard.
She's about to be whisked into an unfamiliar world of cameras, timed challenges and celebrity judges. She could be in with a chance of being crowned the best baker in Britain.
But, as Mrs Quinn's quiet ambitions turn into unexpected stardom, the other secret she's been keeping is in danger of resurfacing. It was supposed to stay hidden forever.
Will Mrs Quinn rise to the challenge? Or, will her success become a recipe for disaster?

Beautiful story
Juliet Stevenson is my favourite narrator. Olivia Ford has written an unusual love story with cake as a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed this book

Wonderful
Wonderful novel, wonderful narration. Juliet Stevenson brought the characters to life from the very first chapter. I loved the recipe chapters, the memories, the back and forth. And it is so true how family recipes are passed from generation to generation! What a great book. I’m not a baker, but I am almost tempted to start!

Heartwarming read!
I was recommended this book by a mutual friend of the author and I must admit it’s not my normal read but it was absolutely amazing! Very well written and very heartwarming. Finished it in record time. Can’t wait for Olivia’s next book.

Beautifully written
I could almost taste and smell the bakes and could definitely imagine the kitchen. Jenny's pain made me choke with sadness and her happiness filled my heart in equal measures. I look forward to Olivia's next book..

Joy and pathos
The subject dare I say , apparently mundane but turned into magical simplicity read with totally empathetic reading,by ‘her holiness’ the blessed Juliet Stevenson , and one senses the author, Olivia Ford has put her heart and soul into it, a very complete story, with a proper ending,non of this unresolved suspension, so you have to buy the next book . Highly recommended listen.
