This captivating story, steeped in leap of faith and second chance tropes, also weaves in a touch of magical realism and romance. It’s a well-crafted and researched narrative set in historical fiction, exploring the town of Compiègne, France, during World War I. The charming and cozy bakery of Compiègne serves as a delightful setting for our protagonist, Edith, as she embarks on a journey from Dublin, Ireland, seeking her place in the world. The magical realism aspect of the plot remains a mystery, leaving you eager to discover its secrets.
The writing is clear and engaging, punctuated by humorous scenes that add levity to the narrative. The manageable cast of characters ensures that the plot remains focused and easy to follow. I found all of them likable and relatable, making the story a pleasure to read.
In addition to the captivating plot, the author includes a delightful recipe for hot chocolate that I eagerly anticipate trying. The satisfying ending leaves a positive impression, making this a truly satisfying read.
