In a long list of great books I've recently read, this one really resonated with me. I loved the character of Bean - particularly her spirit and courage.

5.0

At times difficult to read because of the heavy subject matter, this book was well worth every minute devoted to it! I particularly responded to the main character, Ruth, as I saw aspects of my own personality reflected in her. I enjoyed her relationship with her father, who made me grin with his speech patterns and pronunciation. I highly recommend this book!

A light, enjoyable mystery! Set at a bakery in New Orleans, it boasts a cast of interesting characters and, as a bonus for the foodies out there, recipes at the back of the book!

Beautifully written! It's brutally honest in its depiction of war, which makes it, at times, quite difficult to read. I wasn't so much a fan of the love story aspect of the novel, but was happy with the way the story ended.
