Everything can change on a dime.
Who doesn’t love a good bakery? Walking in the warm delicious scents, the scrumptious treats inside?
Rosie has inherited Marigold Marina after the tragic death of her husband. The cafe was his dream, not hers, but it is hers now and she is going to do her best to make sure his dream comes true. She serves and coffee and cakes during the day and mourns for him at night.
She meets Kit, the owner of the bookshop barge (yes, you read that correctly!) when he comes in for lunch. He’s hard to miss, he’s handsome, had a head full of curls and a wonderful smile. Their newfound friendship grows and as he teaches her to swim, she believes she may have a second chance at happiness.
But will she allow herself to be happy?
Just when she is ready to take the plunge, she learns some very unsettling and upsetting news about her late husband. Then Kit disappears and as her world has turned upside down, she makes some choices.
The Café at Marigold Marina is not just about living someone else’s dream. It’s about learning the truth and what you do with it, about facing the facts, trusting, new beginnings, friendship, and self-esteem.
How well do you really know someone? How much of a pedestal do you put a deceased person on? What will you tolerate in your life? What chances are you willing to take? How do you move on?
So many things to sink your teeth into with this book (sadly you can’t do that with the pastries). This would be a great book club read as there is much to discuss.
This book was a journey of sorts, and I enjoyed every step of the way. This was my first book by Tilly Tennant and it will not be my last.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
