✦ Synopsis

When local girl Kitty Allen answers an advertisement looking for a "good plain cook," she has no idea what she's getting herself into. As the temperature rises through the long, hot summer, the dream begins to fall apart.

Loosely based on a summer in the life of Peggy Guggenheim, The Good Plain Cook is beautifully written, gently funny, and genuinely touching.

Bethan Roberts lives in Brighton in the south of England. Her debut novel The Pools was critically acclaimed.
