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.
โItโs 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

I really enjoyed this book.
It was entertaining but why did she feel she had to keep those secrets?!
