The Vintage Village Bake Off (by Judy Leigh)

When I first opened this book and read the first few pages, I was not sure I was going to like it. I had to force myself to keep picking it up and reading another chapter. But I ended up really enjoying the story and fell in love with the characters. It is delightful to read a book that focuses on mostly older people who discover they still have something to offer to the world. Harriet’s willingness to become a new person who developed confidence in herself and demonstrated a strength of character. The relationship she has with her brother, Robert, and sister, Bunty, provided a nice flavor of encouragement and caring. In fact, even the support characters were entertaining and had me laughing or rolling my eyes, for example, the “hot to trot” ladies who were outrageously flirting with Robert. I think I would love to visit Devon and get to meet the people in the gardening club.
