A Bakery in Paris A Novel by Aimie K. Runyan
This was a delightful book to read with its atmospheric historical settings, two strong heroines and a story that kept me turning the pages. The inclusion of delicious recipes helped, as well! I also liked one of the historical settings - Paris in the 1870s - being fairly unusual.
The two women, Lisette and Michelins, are grandmother and granddaughter. Both have their share of struggles! Lisette, upset by her privileged and wealthy lifestyle, runs away with a poor French revolutionary rather than enter into an arranged marriage. Anxious to be useful, she starts developing a bakery, but can she survive in a Montmartre of scarcity when she is used to riches?
Micheline has a hard time feeding her sisters because her father died in the Second World War andher mother is missing. Given the chance to learn to cook, she is inspired by her grandmother’s recipes. Can she ever live up to her?
Any lover of historical novels will enjoy this book. I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
