The Summer Seaside Kitchen
What you need to know before your trail
Flora is definitely, absolutely sure that escaping from the quiet Scottish island where she grew up to the noise and hustle of the big city was the right choice. What was there for her on Mure? It’s a place where everyone has known her all her life, and no one will let her forget the past. In the city, she can be anonymous, ambitious and indulge herself in her hopeless crush on her gorgeous boss, Joel.
When a new client demands Flora’s presence back on Mure, she’s suddenly swept back into life with her brothers (all strapping, loud and seemingly incapable of basic housework) and her father. As Flora indulges her new-found love of cooking and breathes life into the dusty little pink-fronted shop on the harbour, she’s also going to have to come to terms with past mistakes – and work out exactly where her future lies…
Travel Guide
The Isle of Mure
Mure is sadly a fictional place – Jenny writes in her author note that she wanted to capture the essence and feel of the amazing highland island such as Lewis, Bute, Harris, Orkney and Shetland, the latter which she thinks is one of the strangest and loveliest places in the UK as far as she is concerned.
She is from the South of Scotland herself and is therefore not an islander but trater a lallander, but she loves the highlands and the vast white beaches the ancient strange monuments; the flat treeless places as trees can’t really grow in stonr winds. As for the long endless summer nights where it never really gets dark . And now there is a summer seaside kitchen there too!
