What to expect
The Summerhouse by the Sea… you’ll wish you were here!
The Top 10 bestselling author tells a summery story about returning to your past and finding a new beginning.
Bestselling author Debbie Johnson says, 'You know you're in for a treat when you open a Jenny Oliver book’.
Escape with Jenny Oliver’s new uplifting read, The Summer We Ran Away in June 2020!!
Every summer has its own story…
For Ava Fisher, the backdrop to all her sun-drenched memories – from her first taste of chocolate-dipped churros to her very first kiss – is her grandmother’s Summerhouse in the sleepy Spanish seaside town of Mariposa.
Returning for one last summer, Ava throws herself into a project her grandmother would be proud of. Café Estrella – once the heart of the sleepy seaside village – now feels more ramshackle than rustic. Just like Ava, it seems it has lost its sparkle.
Away from the exhausting juggle of London life, Ava realises somehow her life has stopped being…happy. But being back at the Summerhouse by the sea could be the new beginning she didn’t even realise she needed…
