The reason for her happiness is that she is in deep love with the lovely seaside town that she considers her home. She is also in love with the ongoing business of running her bakery shop on the Beach Street. Polly Waterford also has a real lover in her life in the form of her boyfriend named Huckle.

In spite of all these happiness in her life, there is something unusual about the gentle breeze of the summer that floats through the town and makes Polly worried.

She starts pouring more emotion into pounding and kneading, and it results in better loafs of bread every time. As she continues to progress with her new hobby cum business, Polly starts working with different recipes by adding seeds, nuts, chorizo, olives, and the local honey, that she gets from a handsome beekeeper living nearby.

Polly Waterford never knew before that she had such a creative and skillful mind. With the help of her determination, she continues to bake and bake and eventually, discovers that a new life rises in her which she had never expected.

     I absolutely agree with this request for another Mure book concerning Saif and Lorna. This is unfinished and I want to know more. Love all the characters in this series. I first fell in love with your books through Polly and Little Beach Street, then loved the Sweetshop and Chocolate Shop and Book Store series as well. Did not love some of the free standing books so much. Too much “F” word for me. Thanks and hope to read more soon!

   Dear Jenny Colgan,

   I’ve just finished reading Summer At The Little Beach Street Bakery for the 80th time because I like it so much. The part of the novel about that horrible storm scared me silly. We have blizzards here in Colorado. They can be deadly, too.
   I love your writing. You have an outrageous sense of humor. I love it.
