Hot Cross Buns at the Little Cornish Bookshop

A GIRL FINDING HER PLACE IN THE WORLD. A BOOKSHOP BY THE SEA. AND A ROMANCE THAT WILL SWEEP HER OFF HER FEET.

Will she discover a life and love as magical as those in the stories she reads?

Effie has always loved her quiet life in Cornwall – sea swims, beach walks, reading, and knitting. After university in London, she returned home, craving the calm of the coast. But while her friends move forward, Effie feels stuck.

So when she’s offered the chance to open a bookshop in the seaside village of Polcarrow – with a flat above the shop – Effie leaps at the opportunity. A bookshop by the sea? It’s the dream.

Adjusting to life on her own is tough at first, but she soon finds friendship in Lola, the local café owner, and her warm circle of friends. Then there’s Jake – a globe-trotting photographer – who stirs something in Effie that she didn’t expect.

As Easter approaches and the shop’s grand opening nears, Effie’s new life begins to bloom. But a difficult owner and a misunderstanding with Jake threaten to upend everything. Can Effie find the courage to fight for the life – and love – she’s always wanted?
