Synopsis

Kindle bestseller The Oyster Catcher is Jo Thomas's first irresistibly feel-good novel, set on the coast of Ireland. 'A world you long to live in with characters you love' Katie Fforde

Dooleybridge, County Galway: the last place Fiona Clutterbuck expects to end up, alone, on her wedding night.

But after the words 'I do' have barely left her mouth, that's exactly where she is - with only her sequinned shoes and a crashed camper van for company.

One thing is certain: Fi can't go back. So when the opportunity arises to work for brooding local oyster farmer, Sean Thornton, she jumps at the chance. Now Fi must navigate suspicious locals, jealous rivals and an unpredictable boss if she's to find a new life, and love, on the Irish coast. And nothing - not even a chronic fear of water - is going to hold her back.

Join Fi as she learns the rules of the ocean - and picks up a few pearls of Irish wisdom along the way...

Glowing praise for The Oyster Catcher:

'A warm and witty debut' Carole Matthews

'A perfect pearl of a story. I loved it' Milly Johnson

'A heart-warming tale full of Celtic charm... What more could you wish for?' Ali McNamara

Goodreads review by Catsalive

A fun, easy read, set in an Irish village. Nothing remarkable, just a light, amusing romance. Fiona & Sean are likeable main characters, & the supporting cast have charming quirks. The animals are delightful: Grace the Great Dane & the donkeys, Freddie, Mercury & Juliet. The oyster farming was inter......more

Goodreads review by Deborah

This is a nice enjoyable easy read with some quirky and interesting characters, the story is nothing new but it's told in a nice way and being set in a oyster farm has to be a first, I think. Fi annoyed me at times when she refused to stand up for herself or even what was right and Nancy reminded me......more

** Original review posted on www.snazzybooks.com ** I don't read a lot of chick-lit (I hate that term!) and it's quite wide genre but I do love certain authors of this style, including Marian Keyes, Sophie Kinsella and JoJo Moyes. I've never read any Jo Thomas though, so thought I'd give The Oyster C......more
