Synopsis

The Summerhouse by the Sea The Top 10 bestselling author tells a summery story about returning to your past and finding a new beginning. Bestselling author Debbie Johnson says, 'You know you're in for a treat when you open a Jenny Oliver book’. Escape with Jenny Oliver’s new uplifting read, in June 2020!! Every summer has its own story… For Ava Fisher, the backdrop to all her sun-drenched memories – from her first taste of chocolate-dipped churros to her very first kiss – is her grandmother’s Summerhouse in the sleepy Spanish seaside town of Mariposa. Returning for one last summer, Ava throws herself into a project her grandmother would be proud of. Café Estrella – once the heart of the sleepy seaside village – now feels more ramshackle than rustic. Just like Ava, it seems it has lost its sparkle. Away from the exhausting juggle of London life, Ava realises somehow her life has stopped being…happy. But being back at the Summerhouse by the sea could be the new beginning she didn’t even realise she needed… Praise for Jenny Oliver: 'You know you're in for a treat when you open a Jenny Oliver book' ‘Brilliantly written, this is packed full of humour and there is a wonderful thread of love… A perfect holiday read’ ‘This book made me want to fly to Spain and dance on the beach with a glass of sangria in my hand. The perfect summer read’ 'Jenny Oliver writes contemporary women's fiction which leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside’ ‘Intelligent, delightful and charming! The writing is exquisite’ ‘A very uplifting story full of happy endings and guaranteed to make you smile….’

Goodreads review by Mermaidka on July 19, 2022

Celkem příjemné oddechové čtení s lehkou dávkou romance. Hlavní hrdinka Ava - jede po smrti babičky vyklidit její dům a tím odjíždí "hlledat samu sebe". Kniha se četla lehce, jen já jsem na ni neměla tolik času, abych ji "sfoukla za pár dní". Asi bych si knihu více vychutnala někde u pod tím španěls......more
