Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week I’m featuring entertaining and light women’s fiction, Mrs. Quinn’s Rise to Fame by Olivia Ford.

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

My Summary of Mrs. Quinn’s Rise to Fame:

Do you have a beloved family recipe that has been passed down?

Jenny is seventy-seven years old, happily married for sixty years, and loves to bake. One day, she impulsively and secretly fills out an application to be a contestant on a popular, prime-time British baking show. As she bakes and considers old family recipes, we get her backstory. Not only is she keeping the baking show a secret from her husband, she’s also hiding another big secret from her past.

โ€œItโ€™s sometimes easy to feel left behind at my age, as if the world has a future and you have no place in it . . . but I hope to discover that there is meaning and adventure still to be found.โ€
