The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris
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...
Why we picked this
Immerse yourself in the tiny French town of Compiègne, where there is a local bakery and rich history. Edie ends up here to escape the heartbreak of losing her mother. As she learns the bakery, meets the locals and falls in love, she also learns so much about herself. I loved the magic of the bakery and felt pulled along the streets of town with her. A delightful read!
