Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop on the Corner and The Cafe by the Sea comes another enchanting, unforgettable novel of a woman who makes a fresh start on the beautiful Scottish Island of Mure—only to discover life has more surprises in store for her.

When Flora MacKenzie traded her glum career in London for the remote Scottish island of Mure, she never dreamed that Joel—her difficult, adorable boss—would follow. Yet now, not only has Flora been reunited with her family and opened a charming café by the sea, but she and Joel are taking their first faltering steps into romance.

With Joel away on business in New York, Flora is preparing for the next stage in her life. And that would be...? Love? She's feeling it. Security? In Joel's arms, sure. Marriage? Not open to discussion.

In the meanwhile, Flora is finding pleasure in a magnificent sight: whales breaking waves off the beaches of Mure. But it also signals something less joyful. According to local superstition, it's an omen—and a warning that Flora's future could be as fleeting as the sea-spray...

A bracing season on the shore sets the stage for Jenny Colgan's delightful novel that's as funny, heartwarming, and unpredictable as love itself.

        April 2, 2018
        Colgan opens this sequel by assuring readers it doesn���t matter whether they���ve read the first book (2017���s The Café by the Sea), but this is unmistakably the second book in a trilogy���the dark middle of everything, without the optimism of beginnings nor the happily-ever-after closure that one hopes will eventually appear. Flora MacKenzie, newly minted entrepreneur on the Scottish Isle of Mure, and Joel Binder, American lawyer, have come together under the ruthless aegis of billionaire Colton Rogers, who���s bought half the island and Joel too, and is trying to draw in Flora���s brother, Fintan. Joel and Colton depart on a prolonged, confidential business trip, leaving Flora struggling, feeling pushed away by Joel���s unexplained silences. Problematic simplifications found in the first book���fetishization of Flora���s ���milky, creamy��� whiteness, pure faith in benevolent capitalism���become nuanced here, but other flaws appear, such as Syrian refugee Saif Hassan, whose sad history is leveraged into inspirational pathos while he remains underdeveloped as a character. Colgan���s brand expertly combines quirky contemporary U.K. settings and snarky-sweet realism, but, with little resolved for these characters after so much pain, this book is not a good introduction to the series or her work.

        Colgan (The Cafe by the Sea) revisits the endearing residents of the tiny, remote island of Mure, Scotland. Flora is grateful to be back home in Mure and even happier that her former boss Joel, now boyfriend, has joined her. But her caf�� is barely making ends meet and workaholic Joel is frequently away on business. When Flora surprises Joel with an unexpected trip to meet him in New York, nothing goes as planned, and she returns home unsure of their future. Meanwhile, her brother Fintan is busy planning his wedding to American billionaire Colton, who bought up part of the island and fell in love during the process. Saif, the island's doctor and a Syrian refugee, is also slowly making Mure his home and is thrilled but worried about being reunited with his children and bringing them to the island. There's never a dull moment on Mure as Flora and her friends and family face their pasts and also a terrible new secret. VERDICT Readers are sure to be charmed by this novel of heartache and healing and its remote island setting. [See Prepub Alert, 11/26/17.]--Melissa DeWild, Spring Lake Dist. Lib., MI

        Colgan (The Caf��� by the Sea, 2017) returns to the rugged Scottish island of Mure for the further adventures of Flora MacKenzie, proprietor of Anna's Seaside Kitchen, and her delightfully quirky neighbors. Among them are Saif, a Syrian refugee acting as the island's only doctor while waiting for news of his missing wife and children; Colton Rogers, an eccentric American billionaire who bought a crumbling castle and is now engaged to Flora's brother Fintan; and Joel, formerly Flora's boss, now her boyfriend. Maybe. Joel's work as Colton's lawyer takes him away often, but he always seems happy to return to Flora. But when she surprises him in New York City, he's a bit less welcoming. Meanwhile, Saif has news of his boys, and he is afraid of the reception they will receive on this remote, very pale island. Readers will be as transported by the smell of peat in a wood-burning stove as they will by Colgan's magical ability to create scenes that elicit simultaneous laughs and tears, and to tackle real-world problems in a convincingly cozy way.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
