About this deal

Colgan’s readers are largely women, and often older women. Does it matter if men read them? “No, I don’t suppose it does, really. Is it always a delight? Yes, it’s really lovely and I think it says a lot about any kind of person who will read what they want to read regardless of what the Sunday Times tells them is supposed to be decent literature.” As she says this, Nedward is demanding my attention. He is on my lap and cooried into me. “Look at you and my dog,” she says, laughing.

Olen listannut alimmaksi kaikki itsenäiset teokset, mutta sitä ennen ryhmitellyt muut kirjat järjestykseen sarjoittain.Jokainen toki lukee Jenny Colganin kirjoja omista syistään, mutta itse olen kokenut yhdeksi ihanimmista asioista Jenny Colganin kirjoissa niiden lähtöasetelman: päähenkilö kaipaa syystä tai toisesta elämänmuutosta, päätyy muuttamaan aivan uuteen paikaan ja löytää siellä tavan olla osana ihanaa yhteisöä tehden työkseen sitä, mitä rakastaa. I really do hope this becomes a new series. There are many other characters to focus on and the Scottish settings just lend themselves to so many different stories. Can't wait for her next book! The Cafe by the Sea (2016) / * The Summer Seaside Kitchen (2017) – * Suolaisten tuulten saari (2023) I hope this is not the last we will hear of Gregor and Morag because I definitely want more and since the author does seem to write series books, well, I have my fingers crossed. Tutustu esimerkiksi Rebecca Raisinin The Travelling Shops -kirjasarjan kirjoihin, joiden pelkkien nimien kuuleminen saa jo ymmärtämään, miksi Rebecca Raisinin kirjat ovat hurmanneet monet Jenny Colgania rakastavat:

Down on the ground is a different matter, though.Her grandfather is considering and Morag wonders if she truly wants to spend the rest of her life in the islands. Her boyfriend Hayden, from flight school, wants Morag to move to Dubai with him, where they’ll fly A380s and say goodbye to Scotland’s dark winters. Polly-sarjan kirjoja ei ole vielä käännetty suomeksi (mutta aikuisille tarkoitetun Beach Streetin pieni leipomo -sarjan kirjat on kaikki suomennettu). The funny thing is it’s been posted as a joke, but it’s got 100 comments underneath by women going, ‘Yep, that’s exactly the kind of man I would like.’ Fasten your seat belts en maak je klaar voor een bumpy ride! In dit eerste deel van de Summer skies-serie volgen we pilote Morag MacIntyre. Na een vreselijk ongeluk - een groot verlies - probeert ze weer op te krabbelen. Ze is getraumatiseerd, stuurloos en nog niet in staat om het roer weer in eigen handen te nemen. Tót het noodlot toeslaat en haar leven - en dat van Dolly, de kreupele Twin Otter - voorgoed zal veranderen. Kirja merkitään usein sarjan kolmanneksi osaksi, mutta mielestäni paras paikka sille on sarjan toisena kirjana, sillä se selittää niin paljon taustoja.Maar ook in Schotland slaat het noodlot toe, móét haar instinct het wel overnemen van haar angst en onzekerheid en voert ze een hobbelige maar veilige noodlanding uit. Ze strandt op Inchborn, een afgelegen eiland waar alleen Gregor, een norse ornitholoog verblijft, en ze zijn op elkaar aangewezen terwijl de storm blijft woeden. Hun totaal verschillende karakters botsen, wat leidt tot scherpe dialogen vol sarcasme en plaagstootjes en onbegrip voor de wijze waarop de ander in het leven staat, dus die redding vanaf het vasteland kan niet snel genoeg komen… Tijdens een storm moet Morag een noodlanding maken op een afgelegen eiland. Ze raakt daar gestrand, ver van de bewoonde wereld en de enige persoon die daar woont is Gregor Cameron. Gregor is een norse ornitholoog die het eiland verzorgt. Voorlopig zitten ze met elkaar opgescheept.. I’m used to metaphorically wrapping myself up in one of her books to feel all cozy and warm and happy. This book took a little longer for that to happen, in fact, I was starting to think it wasn’t going to happen at all. Wrong! LOL Toward the end of the book I actually felt a bit teary but with happiness not sadness for the two main characters who took me along on their journey of discovery. Muistathan säätää sovelluksen asetuksista, minkä kielisiä kirjoja haluat sovelluksen näyttävän sinulle.) Born into a family of successful pilots, Morag is used to flying high. But when a tragic accident above the clouds grounds her, could the future she’d always imagined be suddenly out of reach?

But she is not one of life’s pessimists. Perhaps you can’t be if you write romantic fiction. “Humans are very resilient. I don’t think things are ever quite as bad as they are painted to be. I’m not saying things are brilliant, but things are better for humans now than they ever were in the broader sense. Particularly for women. Although she insists she is not usually travelling, her list of upcoming appointments could be a source of envy: Jenny Colgan heeft een fijne en vlotte schrijfstijl. Er is hier en daar wat humor in het verhaal verwerkt die ik zeker wel kon waarderen en er ontstaan leuke en gênante situaties op het eiland. Colgan wears that success lightly alongside the T-shirt and Havaianas flip flops she’s sporting today. It’s the last bank holiday in May and the sun is shining on Fife. We’re sitting in the 20th-century castle which Colgan shares with her marine engineer husband Andrew, their three teenage children and two dogs (one of whom, Nedward, seems to have fallen in love with me).First officers, or as she calls them “co-pilots,” don’t just sit on an airplane and not fly regularly. If a pair of pilots are scheduled together for four days, for example, they may fly 2 to 4 trips a day (on a domestic “short haul” schedule). Each flight, or leg, is alternated between the two pilots. It would be a very rare case for one pilot to do all the flying even in one day. In fact, I can’t imagine when that would happen. So the idea that Morag would not fly as a first officer/“copilot” in her next position, one of the general premises of the story, is false. Olen tykännyt Rosie Hopkins -sarjan kirjoista todella paljon, sillä niissä on jotenkin todella ihana tunnelma.
