About this listen

From the million-copy Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop

'A delicious book that I couldn’t resist devouring in one sitting. It was a delight to lose myself in the world of Edie and the mysterious baker. I would recommend to pastry lovers and book lovers alike!' Sally Page, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Keeper of Stories

Nestled among the cobblestone streets of Compiègne, there existed a bakery unlike any other.

Rumours were whispered through the town that its pastries offered a taste of magic, chasing away the darkest of sorrows. Just one bite of a croissant might bring luck, unlock a precious memory or reveal hidden longings.

But dark clouds were looming on the horizon…

For Edie Lane, a recipe for disaster doesn’t require that many ingredients. Take an unhealthy amount of wishful thinking and a sprinkle of desperation and that’s how Edie left everything behind in Ireland for her dream job at a bakery in Paris. Except the bakery isn’t in Paris – and neither is Edie.

This might not be where Edie intended to be but she soon realizes it's exactly where she needs to be…

This was a richly sensory and immersive read. Edie is a likeable, relatable protagonist, especially for anyone who has experienced starting anew overseas. The touches of magical realism beautifully enhance the novel’s sensory appeal. Hints of Joanne Harris’ wonderful stories in this book. A croque monsieur with chocolat chaud sounds like the ideal way to prolong the feelings this book evokes.

Flavourful
