It's time to come home to Cornwall
With an exciting new life in Paris, Clemmie Hamilton isn't
looking forward to heading home to the picturesque but sleepy village of St
Aidan, Cornwall. However, when she discovers that the cosy apartment by the
sea, which her grandmother left to her, is under threat from neighbour and
property developer, Charlie Hobson, Clemmie realises she can't abandon her home
in its time of need.
With her childhood friends encouraging her, Clemmie decides
to turn the apartment into 'The Little Cornish Kitchen' – a boutique pop up
pudding club raising money for the repairs to the building in an effort to stop
Charlie once and for all. But when Charlie and his easy charm won't seem to go
away, everything soon becomes even messier than the state of Clemmie's Cornish
kitchen…
My Thoughts
This has all the ingredients you look for in a summer romcom, with its beautiful setting, full of the sounds, colours and flavours of the deliciousness which Clemmie can create. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and seeing the changes which returning to her childhood home brings. Hankering for her life in Paris at the beginning, she gradually begins to remember more and more about her family through her grandmother's home and belongings. As her friends surround her with love and support, you see her focus begin to change.
There is a real charm about the story and I loved the animals who all seem to make their minds up pretty quickly about how they feel about Clemmie. With an enigmatic and maybe misunderstood male lead, you tend to suspect how the story might pan out but it is a heartwarming read. with plenty of obstacles put in the way. Each of Clemmie's friends have their own distinct personality and life apart from Clemmie's story and I am hoping that they will feature in any sequels that there could be.
In short: sun, sea and deliciousness.
About the Author
Jane Linfoot is a best selling author, who lives in a muddy
cottage, up a steep hill in Derbyshire, with her family, their pets, and an
astonishing number of spiders. Although she loves seeing cow noses over the
garden wall, she’s happy she can walk to a supermarket.
Jane grew up in North Yorkshire where she spent a lot of her
childhood avoiding horizontal gales blowing off the sea, and wrote her first
book by accident, while working as an architect, and renovating country houses.
While she loves to write feelgood books that let readers escape, she’s always
surprised to hear her stories make people laugh, admits to (occasionally)
crying as she writes, and credits her characters for creating their own story
lines.
Jane’s garden would be less brambly if she wasn’t on
Facebook and Twitter so often. On days when she wants to be really scared, she
rides a tandem.
Her latest books include a series of stand alone novels,
based around a seaside wedding shop in Cornwall. Cupcakes and Confetti – The
Little Wedding Shop by the Sea, Sequins and Snowflakes – Christmas at the Little
Wedding Shop, and Bunting and Bouquets – Summer at the Little Wedding Shop, and
most recently, The Little Cornish Kitchen. These are all published by Harper
Impulse, an imprint of Harper Collins.
Thanks to Jane Linfoot, Harper Impulse and Rachel of Rachel's Random Resources for a copy of the book and a place on the tour.
