Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Mrs Quinn is . . . 77 years old

. . . a devoted wife

. . . a talented home baker

. . . about to become a household name

Jennifer Quinn has a secret. Her love of baking has just won her a spot as a contestant on a primetime TV show. It's only the second time in fifty-nine years that she's kept something from her beloved husband Bernard.

She's about to be whisked into an unfamiliar world of cameras, timed challenges and celebrity judges. She could be in with a chance of being crowned the best baker in Britain.

But, as Mrs Quinn's quiet ambitions turn into unexpected stardom, the other secret she's been keeping is in danger of resurfacing. It was supposed to stay hidden forever.

Will Mrs Quinn rise to the challenge? Or, will her success become a recipe for disaster?

Uplifting!

Finally, an author who knows how to entertain her readers and a professional & talented narrator. After returning 2 books in a row to audible because of disappointing storyline and/or below standard narrators, a long comes Mrs Quinn!

Perfect comfort listen

Just loved this! Mrs Quinn’s long buried secret reveals itself and lies nicely alongside ‘real time’. A good reminder of how it was in the not so distant past and how past events shape who we all are. Brilliantly narrated and such a lovely story. I was definitely cheering Jenny on! A real treat.
