pickI got this as a little pick me up and overall it did the job. The good: it manages to be about a generational family in Paris without being about hidden secrets or either of the world wars, an uncommon and commendable feat. The not so good: the Lisette doesn't need two saviors at the end, and another near abandonment of her principles. The priest could have just stepped in and they moved on from there.
This is such a good book. I read and loved Girls On The Line by this same author and this one is even better.
It's two timelines and two main characters. Starting in 1870 with the threat of Prussians starving out Paris.
An excellent book. Grab it and devour it.

I LOVE the way she incorporated the recipes into the storyline. Maybe I will bake some bread.
pickWho doesn‘t love a bakery?
A family bakery from one generation to the next is even better.
A heartwarming read you won't want to miss. 5/5

We meet Lisette in 1870 and Micheline, the great granddaughter of Lisette, living in the aftermath of WWII.
We follow both women as their skills in the kitchen help them survive.
It is a heartwarming read you won't want to miss. 5/5
