The Little Flower Shop by the Sea

By: Ali McNamara

Narrated by: Emma Powell

The blossom is out in the little Cornish harbour town of St Felix.

But Poppy Carmichael's spirits aren't lifted by the pretty West Country spring. Inheriting her grandmother's flower shop has forced her to return to Cornwall, a place that holds too many memories.

Poppy is determined to do her best for the sake of her adored grandmother, but she struggles with the responsibility of the more-shabby-than-chic shop. And with the added complication of Jake, the gruff but gorgeous local flower grower, Poppy is very tempted to run away....

The pretty little town has a few surprises in store for Poppy. With new friends to help her and romance blooming, it's time for Poppy to open her heart to St Felix and to the special magic of a little flower shop by the sea!

Critic reviews

"An endearing, romantic and fun read." ( Closer on Step Back in Time)

"An irresistible, feel-good story infused with infectious humour." (Miranda Dickinson)

"If you've got a soft spot for director Richard Curtis' romcoms, then you'll happily devour this book in one sitting.... Utterly enjoyable." ( Stylist)

Just what I expected

This book was light and some what predictable. Like everyone else I was also a bit annoyed that the narrator called the one of the main characters jack instead of jack several times. Just wonder how no one noticed that when the recording was being done.

Cute story and great narrator

One of McNamara’s best. Love the characters and the narrator does a great job bringing them to life.

Good chick lit. A fun read.

light and entertertaining. a good summer read but certainly not literature. it was fun nonetheless

Another good book from this author

Loved this book after hesitating if I would like it but kept me totalling loving it until the end. Love all her books except Step Back in Time

Great and fun story.

Fun story. Narrators need help with accents though. Horrible American accent! Why do Brits think all Americans have hick accents? Annoying!
