Susan Buchanan (The Dating Game, Sign of the Times) has done it again. She's crafted a heartwarming story about Natalie, who comes to a small Scottish village to run the local bakery, the Sugar and Spice, while the owner is away having surgery.Ms Buchanan skillfully weaves in the stories of widowed Stanley, still grieving the loss of his wife, along with Meredith, a hard - and hard-driven - businesswoman, and her hapless assistant, Sophie. Then there is Jacob, who's unable to find a job until Natalie takes him on at the bakery.This is a multi- layered, feel good book that left me smiling when I finished it. Highly recommended.
