“He always believed parents should do what they can to set their children up for a good start into adulthood. ‘Give them enough to do something, but not enough to do nothing’.”
It’s a dual-time novel taken place in Paris in 1870 and 1946; First part about Micheline’s life after WWII and the second part about her great grandmother Lisette’s life during the siege of Paris by the Prussians (what formed the German Empire later in 1871).
Both Micheline and her great grandmother Lisette shared the same passion for baking and the love of cooking for their loved ones.
While reading this novel you will feel as if you travelled back in time and place as if you are in Paris smelling the tasty French patisserie and visualizing them in front of your eyes from the very good description of Aimie the writer.
