Hi all, When I first started reading this book it took me a while to get into the story oh but when I did. I could not put it down. I loved the characters. they are like ur best friends when ur reading the book. its pure escapism from ur own life too. I just loved this book. I loved the characters so normal and I loved that it was set in Cork.
Lucy Dalton wants to escape her frumpy, mundane life. Her job is boring, her social life non-existent and her mother is still trying to make her into the wonderful daughter she’s always dreamed of. Rosa Mooney is a walking disaster at whatever career she tries. Sick of being treated like a child, she is determined to be taken seriously at last. Kate Lewis has fled her old life for the tranquillity of running a small health store, having blown her chance at happiness. Agnes Cotter has been at the beck and call of bullying sister Beatrice for years. The genteel persona that she presents to the world masks a life of drudgery and bitterness.
None of them expect, when they sign up for a gourmet cookery course, that learning to cook will be the best therapy any of them could ever hope for.
Can these “absolute beginners” find new beginnings?
Anyone who enjoyed pebble cove should definetly check this out. I really enjoyed and loved going to bed early to read it in pure peace and quiet. Well Done Mairead on a great book again. When is the third out??
