Series background & context
These novels follow Polly Waterford as she rebuilds her life in Mount Polbearne, a windswept Cornish town where everybody knows everybody, and the sea is never far away.
In The Little Beach Street Bakery, Polly lands in a tiny flat above a bakery and throws herself into bread making as a way to cope. The work is physical and soothing, and it slowly pulls her into the town’s orbit, including a local beekeeper who does not make things simple.
You can almost smell the warm loaves.
Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery raises the stakes once Polly’s shop is up and running. Friendships deepen, old problems resurface, and new responsibilities land right when she thought life was calming down.
In Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery, winter weather and holiday pressure squeeze every part of Polly’s world. It is a season for hard choices and honest conversations.
Sunrise by the Sea returns to Polly for a later chapter, when the next step forward feels exciting, and frightening, in equal measure.
