Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life, does not appeal. Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there, either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Years ago, Flora fled the quiet Scottish island where she grew up - and she hasn't looked back. What would have done on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, where no one will let her forget the past. In bright, bustling London, she can be anonymous, ambitious...and hopelessly in love with her boss. But when fate brings Flora back to the island, she's suddenly swept once more into life with her brothers - all strapping, loud, and seemingly incapable of basic housework - and her father.

Polly Waterford is recovering from a toxic relationship. Unable to afford their flat, she has to move miles away from everyone, to a sleepy little seaside resort in Cornwall, where she lives alone above an abandoned shop. And so Polly takes out her frustrations on her favorite hobby: making bread. But what was previously a weekend diversion suddenly becomes far more important as she pours her emotions into kneading and pounding the dough, and each loaf becomes better and better.

Maggie went to the window and opened it wide, inhaling the lovely, ozoney air off the sea. Why had she never lived by the sea before? Why had she always looked out on housing estates and not the little white hulls of trawlers bobbing off in the distance? It's gloriously sunny in Cornwall as the school year starts at the little boarding school by the sea.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Jenny Colgan returns to the beloved Scottish Highland town of Kirrinfief, which listeners first met in The Bookshop on the Shore, and adds a dash of London’s bustling urban landscape.
Lissie is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighborhood. Always terribly competent and good at keeping it all together, she’s been suffering quietly with PTSD after helping to save the victim of a shocking crime. Her supervisor quietly arranges for Lissie to spend a few months doing a much less demanding job in the little town of Kirrinfeif in Scottish Highlands, hoping that the change of scenery will help her heal. Lissie will be swapping places with Cormack, an Army veteran who’s Kirrinfeif’s easygoing nurse/paramedic/all-purpose medical man. Lissie’s never experienced small-town life, and Cormack’s never spent more than a day in a big city, but it seems like a swap that would do them both some good.
In London, the gentle Cormack is a fish out of the water; in Kirrinfief, the dynamic Lissie finds it hard to adjust to the quiet. But these two strangers are now in constant contact, taking over each other’s patients, endlessly emailing about anything and everything. Lissie and Cormack discover a new depth of feeling...for their profession and for each other.
But what will happen when Lissie and Cormack finally meet?

Fun Listen
I think the book started a little slowly, but once it got going the characters were very fun. Sometimes you just want to read a book about nice people. Not perfect, maybe a little broken, but you can count on them to do the right thing.
Narration was perfect and I always want to visit Scotland when I read a Jenny Colgan book.
Also, a nice listen when taking my morning walks

Another great Novel. Excellent reader!
I have been binging on Jenny Colgan since quarantine. This is another really good offering, but more than anything I was ABSOLUTELY thrilled to get a glimpse of Nanny 7, Harry, and their new family, and mostly to hear Patrick again. This reader is excellent—performance wonderful—and the character and voice of Patrick is one of my all time favorites EVER!

Painful to listen to
The narration was awful, though it was on par with the book. There was absolutely nothing about it that was remotely entertaining or enjoyable. I got it on sale and it still was too much. Not sure what I was missing and why there were so many positive reviews, buy be wary before you listen. The editors blurb sounds lovely. Not my experience of the story.

Utterly engaging
Jenny Colgan’s prose, crafting and storytelling are far (far!) better than most ‘chick lit’ of the past 30 or so years in 500 Miles from You. Reader Eilidh Beaton’s work is flawless- she even nails a scene in which a Scot tries to sound like a Cockney and ends up sounding slightly Welsh.
This is an excellent production of a wonderful, escapist story. Highly recommend.

Moving, Funny
TA: death of a child, gang murder
The horrible thing is in the first chapter and it is not gruesomely described but the grief and trauma of the MC witness is important to the plot. It is handled realistically but not overdone.
There is a lot if comedy and sweetness among friends. Contrast between the London metropolis and the rural town and surrounds. New friendships and blooming romance via correspondence. The main story is Lyssa’s healing journey and the connections she forms that help her along.
Revisit old friends if you read previous books but this is a stand alone.

The entire book leads up to the last chapter.
I usually find sequels to be less effective books than the first of a series. That is not true here. Of the three in this series book 2 was by far my favorite and until the last chapter I would have said book 3 was the least successful. However, the entire book 3 leads up to the last chapter, which, surprising to me, made me cry. I do love how Ms Colgan tackles current topics in a way to make you think. These are well written novels about everyday people who make a difference in other people's lives.

Wonderful follow up with familiar characters
I thought this was a stand-alone Jenny Colgan, and was delighted to find Zoe and Nina and friends in a familiar setting, while learning about these new characters, who were delightful. Though it didn’t center bibliophiles, this may be my favorite Jenny Colgan of all. I had gotten quite discouraged after not enjoying her Mure series, but this has renewed my Jenny Colgan fan status entirely!

A wonderful story!
This. Book. Was. Awesome! Loved, LOVED, this story!!! The narrator was great too.
Jenny Colgan has written another funny, heartwarming, romantic, and totally satisfying story. After, what I thought was a slightly disappointing Book 2 in the series, Book 3 was absolutely wonderful! It has her signature snarky dialogue, characters you can really care about (both the MCs as well as their friends and relations). As an added bonus for Colgan fans, there are appearances from characters in Books 1 and 2 as well as a reference to "Huckle honey". Yay!
Some profanity.
