I liked this a lot. Very cute, clean (there is some sex happening, but all closed door) ... and it had a couple laugh-out-loud moments for me. Featuring the "older" crowd (the three main characters are all in their 70s).  And cooking ... quote at the start "Cooking is love made visible." 

I felt like the blurb here was a little misleading (and I know it's not necessarily the author writing it, or responsible for it). Yes, this IS about Robert and his little Bake-Off ... but it's his sister Hattie who seems to be the main character, or at least the book starts off with her. It's her wedding in the prologue, then her history and happenings in the first few chapters. It's not until Chapter4 that we meet "a very English gentleman in a pale shirt" ... who is Robert.  It's all 3rd person(past tense), but the POV shifts between the three siblings, Hattie, Robert and Bunty. Bunty joins Hattie at her home, Hattie then goes to visit Robert, then Bunty comes there. Sections feature just one sibling, two together, then all three together, as well as many other secondary characters.  Just basic chronological chapters (38 of them).

My KindleUnlimited subscription was expiring, this was one of the last books I squeezed in (text only) ... the audio was available on Hoopla/Library.  I went with the audio edition, but had the Kindle copy handy for reference and highlights/notes. Single narrator (female/older) and British accent (as it should be). British spellings in text (ie sombre). 

One thing I note, is when a song is happening (sung by characters) is it sung by the narrator, or spoken? Here ... I wasn't really sure, it was rather "rap" type that even "sung" has a spoken feel. This was also my LOL moment ...

"I'm Say-say-say-say-Satan's slave..."
"I'm sorry, that's my daughter Tilda. She has a rock group, they're practising ... it's a bit inappropriate - on a Sunday - in a manse."

Then there were the animal's names ... A little over the top, but adorably so. The chicken's, Dora-the-EGGSplora (I missed this originally in audio, the narrator didn't enunciate the pun enough. Luckily I happened to notice it when I was reviewing the text). There was also Princess Lay-a and Hen Solo.  The goats ... The Great Goatsby and Vincent Van Goat. The cat is Issac Mewton.  

Hattie and lived in a miserable marriage and is finally learning to live on her own. Robert has never married, but excels at cooking/baking, and the older ladies are taking notice. Older woman babe magnet! Bunty ... Bunty, Bunty. I really just wanted to slap her silly. Felt SO sorry for her husband, and didn't quite find that part believable (that he'd be so forgiving). It was a little annoying, the dropped hints about "what happened" in their past that they hadn't gotten over. It's not even a spoiler at all (and was as I guessed, the death of a child) but when "what had happened" is referenced multiple times, but that's as much info as we (the reader) get ... I find it annoying. It is finally revealed, but I don't know why the reveal took so long. 

I'll have very fond memories of this, and plan on checking out some additional books but this author. I'm just in my 50s ... interesting to read about these crazy lives of people 20+ years older than me.
