Publisher's Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Hetty's Farmhouse Bakery by Cathy Bramley, read by Colleen Prendergast.

Thirty-two-year-old Hetty Greengrass is the star around which the rest of her family orbits. Marriage, motherhood and helping Dan run Sunnybank Farm have certainly kept her hands full for the last 12 years. But when her daughter Poppy has to choose her inspiration for a school project and picks her aunt, not her mum, Hetty is left full of self-doubt. 

Hetty’s always been generous with her time and until now, her biggest talent - baking deliciously moreish shortcrust pastry pies - has been limited to charity work and the village fete. But taking part in a competition run by Cumbria’s Finest to find the very best produce from the region might be just the thing to make her daughter proud...and reclaim something for herself.

Except that life isn’t as simple as producing the perfect pie. Changing the status quo isn’t easy - and with cracks appearing in her marriage and shocking secrets coming to light, Hetty must decide where her priorities really lie....

Beautiful setting and beautifully read

Im a big fan of Cathy Bramleys books but I’d have to say this one isn’t my favourite. Most of the story was very sweet, homely and comforting as her story’s usually are however the ending of this one I just found disappointing. I wanted to see Hetty be empowered and take her life back but I feel like she was used as a doormat and continued that life with someone who didn’t treat her well.

Not bad

I loved the farmhouse setting & the baking. There were some really lovely, comfy aspects that I’m drawn to about Cathy Bramley books, but I really struggled with the main character allowing herself to not be treated better by her husband. The subtle emotional manipulation is borderline abuse. I would’ve loved to see her speak up about how she’s feeling, what her needs are, & what’s important to her. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book. The narrator was superb!
