And in particularly the villagers' battle against a big coffee chain wanting to take over The Pavillions, which houses their historic theatre. The problem is that The Pavillions don't look like they used to; run down and neglected it needs some serious money injected into it, which the coffee chain can provide and so the council is pretty set on signing the paperwork as soon as possible, and by doing so getting rid of the eye sore that is the current theatre.Armed with a passion for their community and some handy contacts in the worlds of television and theatre, the towns people put their heads together to come up with a plan to save The Pavillions without the need to sell out to the coffee chain. They soon manage to rope in an array of celebrities to put Trevay and The Pavillions on the map before the start of a new theatre season, which includes an exclusive event around television series Downtown Abbey and a play which stars a famous model turned actress, who has her own reasons for taking on the job in the small village. All the money made from the events will go to the helping to save The Pavillions, but will it be enough? And will the drama that plays out behind-the-scenes not get in the way of the ultimate goal?I do love Cornwall and Fern Britton describes her lovely fictional village in such a way that it sounds like the perfect holiday destination. I wish it was real so I could go there on my next trip! It is no surprise that the townspeople feel passionate about the place and I really enjoyed reading that feeling of solidarity that was created by the mutual goal of saving the theatre and fighting their Goliath; the coffee chain.Unfortunately I did think that there were too many characters the novel tried to focus on, which meant that none of them really received the page time they deserved or needed for me to be able to truly care for any of them. There was a lot of focus on the actors' various spouses which didn't really serve the story at all, only added unnecessary dramatics that actually made the characters get on my nerves after a while.And that is a shame, because there is a lot to enjoy within A Seaside Affair too, I particularly loved the core plot of saving the theatre. And if you're looking for a real holiday read this summer, A Seaside Affair ticks all the right boxes. Don't expect amazing character developments or a highly imaginative plot, but if you love romantics novels with a heavy dose of drama, then this is just the book for you.

The Café au Lait conglomerate has this delapidated building in its sights for a major coffee chain revamp. But the scourge of the mulitnationals is not going to happen in this small seaside town that prides itself on its theatrical heritage, if the locals have anything to do with it! The good people of Trevay are mustering support, and this comes in from all kinds of folk who start to get involved.The locals have many skills that they can bring to such a project, and Penny, hotshot producer and local resident, has the contacts; but money, of course is sorely lacking, Colonel Stick has the longest association with the theatre, Piran and Simon eventually join the swelling numbers.Brooke Lynne (and there is a wonderful back story as to how she got her name, which is “kinda Beckham”) is an actress, and the stunning face of Café au Lait. Her agent Milo joins her in Cornwall for a meeting with the coffee group plus a local councillor, who is totally on board for the conversion; but the meeting certainly doesn’t pan out as anticipated! Brooke is persuaded to join the activists, and is particularly pleased that she will have an acting part in “Hats Off, Trevay!” which is running for the Summer Season to raise money for the restoration and rebuilding cause.Others who join are down-and-out actor Ollie, who is dating pop superstar Red (not Pink obviously); and Jess, who is dating TV heartthrob and star of the popular series Venini, Ryan Hearst (with an ego the size of the county of Cornwall). But, does the course of true love run smoothly for these iconic couples? Add in a smattering of Royalty, with detective detail, and some eccentric locals, sprinkle with a bit of Hollywood glamour dust, and the book bowls along to the denouement … a few characters are, of course, scattered to the four winds, some new friendships are forged, and the story is brought to a close with an overriding feel-good experience of the life on the stage. It is clear that the author has experience of the theatre – discover behind-the-scene activities, find out what it means when Mr Brown is in the house; enjoy the chat in the Green Room, venture into the dressing rooms of the actors, attend rehearsals….And what of the location? In an article in The Cornish Guardian, it is clear that “Fern Britton loves Cornwall and everything about it”” and that “the county does have a sense of romance.” She says that “There is a lot of Padstow in Trevay, and The Metropole is definitely my Starfish Hotel. It is all made up, but I can walk the streets in my head“. Thus, a perfect setting for her delightful novel!

It's pleasant enough if one really has nothing else to do, but would probably be more suitable for (young) teenagers. Can't really recommend it.
