In this charming debut, 77-year-old Jenny Quinn does something out of character. Without telling her beloved husband of almost 60 years, she applies to be a contestant on Britain Bakes (think Great British Bake Off). This heartwarming story features multigenerational friendships, delightful characters, and delicious recipes. As Jenny embarks on this new adventure, memories of a long-ago tragic event resurface.
Mrs. Quinn’s Rise to Fame (2024) is ultimately a feel-good read, but you might need a few tissues along the way. Olivia Ford’s first novel is beautifully narrated by Melanie Crawley—listen to the book for an immersive experience featuring a narrator with a British accent.
