From the bestselling author of NETFLIX SENSATION ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL
There are many reasons to bake: to feed; to impress; and, sometimes, it has to be said, to perfect.
In 1966, Kathleen Eaden published The Art of Baking, her guide to nurturing a family by creating the most exquisite pastries.
Now, five amateur bakers are competing to become the New Mrs Eaden. There's Jenny, facing an empty nest; Claire, who has sacrificed her dreams; Mike, trying to parent after his wife's death; Vicki, who has dropped everything to be with her baby boy; and perfect Karen, who knows what it's like to have nothing and is determined her fa ade shouldn't slip.
As unlikely alliances are forged, making the choicest choux bun seems the least of the contestants' problems. For they will learn - as Mrs Eaden did before them - that while perfection is possible in the kitchen, it's very much harder in life.
'Delicious . . . Friendship, rivalry and exposed secrets, all gorgeously told' - Elle
'Clever and compelling. I loved this' Nina Stibbe

Sarah Vaughan read English at Oxford and went on to become a journalist. After training at the Press Association, she spent eleven years at the Guardian as a news reporter and political correspondent before leaving to freelance and write fiction. The Art of Baking Blind, published in the UK, US and seven languages, was her debut novel, and The Farm at the Edge of the World, a French bestseller, her second. Anatomy of a Scandal, her first courtroom drama/political thriller, became an instant international bestseller and Sunday Times top five bestseller. Translated into 23 languages, it was also filmed for Netflix as a six-part mini-series, written by David E Kelley, and starring Sienna Miller, Michelle Dockery and Rupert Friend. Little Disasters was a Waterstones thriller of the month, a kindle bestseller, and is in the process of being adapted for TV. Her fifth novel, Reputation, has just been optioned by the team that developed Anatomy of a Scandal for TV. |
