The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris

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…

The enduring power of love

What a beautiful book. I absolutely loved it. The characters and narration were absolutely perfect. Thank you

Heartwarming in these troubled times

Magic and reality mingle and mix in delicious ways! The only thing that bothered me a little was the slow start with nothing much happening. I felt a lot of.it could have been condensed or cut out.

Wonderful story telling

I am so glad I purchased audio book over hard cover. The narrator speaking in French in such a way that pulled me in and enriched the story for me. Excellent

The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris

I really enjoyed this book However, I think the author draws out the story to long! I have read other books she has written and it is the same way, It’s as if she enjoys the story so much she doesn’t want to end the book.
