The Wartime Chocolate Maker by Gosia Nealon
emotional
informative
slow-paced
4.0
This is my favourite genre of book, and I knew from reading some of Gosia's previous work that I would be in for a treat. It felt like a refreshing change to read a book set in Gdansk, rather than the more written about Warsaw or Krakow. The Wartime Chocolate Maker is a dual POV story, and I liked reading both Kasia and Feleks stories.
I also enjoyed the descriptions of chocolate, which I could almost taste as I was reading.
Whilst this was a enjoyable story overall, I did find there was a little something missing for me personally. I didn't get that sense of danger that I've become accustomed to within this genre. However, I think it was an engaging storyline which showed some of the dangers of living under Nazi occupation.
