The Cafe by the Sea by Jenny Colgan

The Cafe by the Sea

by Jenny Colgan

Years ago Flora fled the quiet Scottish island where she grew up - and she hasn't looked back. What would she have done on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, where no one will let her forget the past. In bright, bustling London, she can be anonymous, ambitious...and hopelessly in love with her boss. But when fate brings Flora back to the island, she's suddenly swept once more into life with her brothers - all strapping, loud, and seemingly incapable of basic housework - and her father. Yet even amid the chaos of their reunion, Flora discovers a passion for cooking - and finds herself restoring a dusty little pink-fronted shop on the harbour: a cafe by the sea.

Audiobook read in scottish accent! What a treat!
Story itself is also really good, poetical and with beautiful nature.
Romance isn't central part of a story imo, felt more like a family saga to me.
