Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame


Listen Later

Welcome to The Reading Lounge! Sarah and Cynthia discuss Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame by Olivia Ford. Perhaps not many find fame in the sunset of their lives but Mrs. Quinn's love of baking puts her front and center. The unexpected fame also illuminates the cost of keeping secrets in a nearly 60-year long marriage. If you enjoy The Great British Baking Show as much as we do, the setting for this fun and engaging novel will make you smile and keep turning page after page.


Let's not forget this episode's cocktail - A Sticky Toffee Fizz!

You'll need:

1 oz. Spiced Rum

1/2 oz. Butterscotch liqueur

1/2 oz Caramel Toffee liqueur

1 2/3 oz Brut Champagne/sparkling wine


We made a few modifications - listen in to find out what to do when you can't find Caramel Toffee liqueur!

Thank you for joining us in The Reading Lounge.
