#1 Best Seller in Myths & Fairy Tales

From the million-copy 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…

Heartwarming book
4 out of 5 stars
Heartwarming book
This a heartwarming gentle read. The main character Edie has spent years looking after her mother and having suffered the heartache of losing her, she decides to apply for a job in a bakery in Paris, hoping to start a new chapter in her life. What Edie doesn’t realise is the bakery is not in Paris, but in a nearby small historical town . She finds the owner of the bakery offhand and as she struggles with a new country and language the feelings of ease begin to grow. Strange noises at night add to her anxiety leaving her wondering if she has made a huge mistake leaving her homeland. She becomes friends with some locals and meets the charming Hugo which helps her to feel more settled but soon buried secrets emerge that change her perception and make her question everything around her. I loved the setting of the book. I holiday in France a lot and the descriptions of the boulangerie transported me to one of my favourite places. The book is full of magic, friendship, self discovery and romance. I did find it a bit predictable at times but that adds to its charm . If you’re looking for a gentle read with a sprinkle of magic you will enjoy this book.

    Truly magical!
    I adored the escapism, friendship and romance of this book with so much soul. Edith is effectively running away from her feelings back in Ireland following the death of her mum, she answers a mysterious advert for help in a bakery in Paris, however once she arrives there she finds it isn't quite as she imagined.
    However, over time she finds her feet in France, makes friends and more than one incredible discovery. This sets her on a path to truly find her purpose and help those she cares for to fight for their own dreams.
    Jam-packed with French charm, delicious pastries and fantastic characters this is a delightful book.

    This book will make you cry—for certain. I bought it because I am a foodie and have wonderful memories of baked goods and small bakeries from my childhood. This book has all of that, with vivid imagery. I did not know it would have a secondary storyline involving the horror of Nazi Germany. That is definitely one of my triggers. It is necessary to remember , though, so as not to repeat. There were also primary story elements of found family, tradition, redemption, being true to yourself, and love. This was another REALLY good book from Evie Woods❤️.
