Synopsis "La Receta Secreta de la Señora Quinn / Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame"
Una entrañable novela en la que el amor y la deliciosa comida se mezclan para lograr la receta perfecta y recordarnos que algunos sueños se cumplen gracias a la edad, y no a pesar de ella. Aunque no le pega nada, Jennifer Quinn decide presentarse a Britain Bakes, el programa de repostería más popular de Reino Unido. Sumida en un torbellino de cámaras y desafíos, Jenny empieza a desenterrar algunos de sus recuerdos... La tarta de chocolate le trae a la cabeza aquel recado furtivo en el que llevaba puesta una alianza que no le pertenecía; los dónuts glaseados, un gesto amable de un desconocido; y una sencilla rebanada de pan, el instante que le cambió la vida. Mientras el pasado se cuela en el presente y la fama de Jenny va en aumento, ella lucha por mantener su primer secreto bajo llave. Sin embargo, al colocarse bajo los focos, no habrá creado la receta perfecta para el desastre? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "As cozy as a cup of tea and cake."--People "One of those books you just want to hug to your chest. I loved it so much."--Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of While We Were Dating. A huge-hearted, redemptive coming-of-old-age tale, a love story, and an ode to good food. Nothing could be more out of character, but after fifty-nine years of marriage, as her husband Bernard's health declines, and her friends' lives become focused on their grandchildren--which Jenny never had--Jenny decides she wants a little something for herself. So she secretly applies to be a contestant on the prime-time TV show Britain Bakes. Whisked into an unfamiliar world of cameras and timed challenges, Jenny delights in a new-found independence. But that independence, and the stress of the competition, starts to unearth memories buried decades ago. Chocolate teacakes remind her of a furtive errand involving a wedding ring; sugared doughnuts call up a stranger's kind act; a simple cottage loaf brings back the moment her life changed forever. With her baking star rising, Jenny struggles to keep a lid on that first secret--a long-concealed deceit that threatens to shatter the very foundations of her marriage. It's the only time in six decades that she's kept something from Bernard. By putting herself in the limelight, has Jenny created a recipe for disaster?
