About the Book
Meet Me at the Seaside Cottages
This summer, escape to the Seaside Cottages in the Scottish isles with this delightful mother-daughter story about second chances in love, life and home renovations, by New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan.
Janey Carter has a lot to be grateful for --- a home by the sea in the Scottish isles, a job that she loves, two kids who have successfully launched and a network of kind and supportive friends. But since her husband left, her confidence has taken a nosedive. And then, out of the blue, her 30-year-old daughter Essie announces she’s moving back home. Janey loves Essie dearly, but she was never the easiest to live with, and Janie has been enjoying the empty nest life.
Yes, Essie Carter has just lost her job, can’t afford her rent in Edinburgh, and her boyfriend isn’t ready to commit. She hates to admit defeat and isn’t wild about moving back to the remote island community where she was raised. But maybe the sea air will clear her head?
No sooner is Essie back under her mother’s roof than an unusual opportunity pops up: the shabby and unloved Seaside Cottages next door come up for sale. Janey has some experience renovating the island’s famous stone fisherman’s cottages, Essie needs something to do, and they could both use a little Air B&B income to warm their pockets. Mother and daughter slowly bond over the shared challenge, which delivers some much-needed revelations for Essie, and offers Janey a surprise second chance at love as well.
