Une île qu'elle a quittée avec perte et fracas après le décès brutal de sa mère, quelques années plus tôt.
Quand elle arrive à Mure pour s'installer dans la ferme familiale, la jeune femme sent très vite qu'elle n'est pas la bienvenue.

Jusqu'au jour où Flora tombe par hasard sur le vieux cahier de recettes de sa mère. En se plongeant dans ce carnet, elle se découvre une nouvelle passion pour la cuisine qui pourrait bien l'aider à se réconcilier avec sa famille et son île natale. Emportée par son élan gourmand, Flora décide de rénover une boutique sur le port dans l'espoir d'y ouvrir un restaurant éphémère...

« De la science-fiction avec des personnages féminins dignes de ce nom ! » MadmoiZelle « Je n'aurais jamais pensé que je pourrais apprécier un livre sur les maths, les amphibiens et la fin du monde. C'est original, drôle et romantique. Et vous n'avez même pas besoin d'être calés en fractales. » Sophie Kinsella, auteure de L'Accro du shopping Connie, mathématicienne, arrive à Cambridge, pensant qu'on lui a confié un poste de professeur. Elle se rend compte que des confrères sont là, à qui on a fait la même promesse. Les services secrets les ont en fait réunis pour décrypter un code mystérieux et les voilà « assignés à résidence ». Parmi eux se trouve un inconnu au comportement étrange... et c'est peu dire pour leur petit milieu. Luke semble en savoir beaucoup plus qu'eux sur ce code et même sur la vie, l'univers et le reste.
Un roman sur l'amour l'amitié et l'éradication de l'espèce humaine pour les fans de Dr Who et The Big Bang Theory. -

Polly Waterford is recovering from a toxic relationship. Unable to afford their flat, she has to move miles away from everyone, to a sleepy little seaside resort in Cornwall, where she lives alone above an abandoned shop.
And so Polly takes out her frustrations on her favourite hobby: making bread. But what was previously a weekend diversion suddenly becomes far more important as she pours her emotions into kneading and pounding the dough, and each loaf becomes better and better. With nuts and seeds, olives and chorizo, with local honey (courtesy of local bee keeper, Huckle), and with reserves of determination and creativity Polly never knew she had, she bakes and bakes and bakes . . . And people start to hear about it.
Sometimes, bread really is life . . . And Polly is about to reclaim hers.

Flora is definitely, absolutely sure that escaping from the quiet Scottish island where she grew up to the noise and hustle of the big city was the right choice. What was there for her on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, and no one will let her forget the past. In the city, she can be anonymous, ambitious and indulge herself in her hopeless crush on her gorgeous boss, Joel.
When a new client demands Flora's presence back on Mure, she's suddenly swept back into life with her brothers (all strapping, loud and seemingly incapable of basic housework) and her father. As Flora indulges her new-found love of cooking and breathes life into the dusty little pink-fronted shop on the harbour, she's also going to have to come to terms with past mistakes - and work out exactly where her future lies...
