Ready for a new start in her life after the sad passing of her mother, Edith (Edie) Lane leaves Ireland for Paris. She applied on a job advertisement, a boulangerie in Paris is looking for a help in the shop, who will stay at the small apartment above the bakery. But when Edie steps out of the Eurostar, she finds out that the bakery is not in Paris at all. The bakery is located on Rue de Paris in a small cobblestone town of Compiègne, an hour from Paris by train. Truly not how she imagined her new life. After the long train travel to the town, she is welcomed not very warmly by the lady who is the owner of the bakery, Madame Moreau. The bakery is a bit mysterious, as Edie is working in the shop in the front serving customers, but is not allowed in the bakery itself at the back of the building. Who is baking the bread and the pastries, Madame Moreau and her cousin Manu? There are strange noises in the night, hears Edie, and she also finds a diary with recipes belonging to someone named Pieree Moreau, who owned the bakery during WWII. The clients of the bakery are all very nice, and Edie makes new friends in town, people give her tours of the town, and she meets Hugo. Hugo whose dad is out on closing the bakery because it is in deep debt. Hugo who tries to start a romance with Edie, untill she finds out about his plans. And she starts a plan to save the bakery..
This is the kind of book that immediately grabs your attention, and it keeps your attention untill the final page. The story is very well written with a strong and entertaining, and a littlebit mysterious storyline, and that same counts for the strong cast of characters. The character of Edie never got uninteresting, and as a reader you truly keep turning pages to find out what will happen next. Madame Moreau's past is tragic, and this still plays a part in her life in the present time, which also has to do with the mystery that surrounds the bakery. I loved how everything fell into place in the end and how the story was wrapped up. This books leaves you with a smile!
I truly enjoyed this entertaining book with a fantastic storyline and characters, I highly recommend reading it!
