About this listen
From the million-copy bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop
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…

Blue Bishop has a knack for finding lost things. While growing up in charming small-town Buttonwood, Alabama, she’s happened across lost wallets, jewelry, pets, her wandering neighbor, and sometimes, trouble. No one is more surprised than Blue, however, when she comes across an abandoned newborn baby in the woods, just south of a very special buttonwood tree. Sarah Grace Landreneau Fulton is at a crossroads. She has always tried so hard to do the right thing, but her own mother would disown her if she ever learned half of Sarah Grace’s secrets.

Everyone has a story to tell. But does Janice have the power to unlock her own? She can’t recall what started her collection. Maybe it was in a fragment of conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge) she noticed people were telling her their stories. Perhaps they had always done so, but now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and she gathers them to her.

This is the story of the peculiar and magical photo studio owned by Mr. Hirasaka, a collector of antique cameras. In the dimly lit interior, a paper background is pulled down in front of a wall, and in front of it stands a single, luxurious chair with an armrest on one side. On a stand is a large bellows camera. On the left is the main studio; photos can also be taken in the courtyard. Beyond its straightforward interior, however, is a secret. The studio is, in fact, the door to the afterlife, the place between life and death where those who have departed have a chance—one last time.

She’s just about at the end of her rope when she stumbles across a rare edition of a book from the 1960s at the local flea market. Deciding it’s a sign of her luck turning, she takes it home with her—only to be shocked when her cranky hermit of a neighbor swoops in and offers to buy it for an exorbitant price. Intrigued, Chloe takes a closer look at the book only to find notes scribbled in the margins between two young lovers back when the book was new.

After Culloden, Iain MacGillivray was left for dead on Drumossie Moor. Wounded, his face brutally slashed, he survived only by pretending to be dead as the Redcoats patrolled the corpses of his Jacobite comrades. Six years later, with the clan chiefs routed and the Highlands subsumed into the British state, Iain lives a quiet life, working as a bookseller in Inverness. One day, after helping several of his regular customers, he notices a stranger lurking in the upper gallery of his shop, poring over his collection. But the man refuses to say what he's searching for.

Fiber artist Ingrid Barrick has just been found dead in her ransacked house, but the fact that she'd seemed a bit troubled lately—and had been obsessively doodling pictures of bees—has the Knit and Nibblers wondering if this was really a burglary gone bad like the police think. There had been tension with a neighbor who was fuming (and sneezing) over the ragweed in Ingrid's garden—but allergies don't seem like grounds for murder.

The magic of taking a chance!
A beautifully written and narrated story. This story grabbed me from the start and left me wanting for more. Evie Woods is masterful in her historical stories, and the way in which she writes you can actually feel like you’re there.
I felt like I could actually taste and smell all the amazing goodness this bakery offered.
And could imagine the feelings and memories the hot chocolate created. My mouth was watering.
Overall a lovely and magical story.

A delightful mystery/romance with a French twist
I enjoyed going on the main character’s brave journey after she takes the trusting step of moving to France from Ireland to work at a bakery and find herself. Interwoven into the tale is an unsolved mystery of the goings on in the bakery’s basement, an appealing slow romance, and an inspiring growth arch for various characters. Nice local and historical details! Slow start but picks up nicely. Recommended!

Enjoyed this story
I have enjoyed the other books by this author, so I was excited to read this. Although I enjoyed her other books more, this one was still good. I liked how she brought in some history of WWII and the Roma people. I also liked the descriptions of the French town where it takes place. The narrator was not my favorite. I didn’t always like how she read the main character. It made it hard to connect with her and see what kind of person she really was. Still a good story and a nice listen!

A charming story!
While this novel is not “deep,” it is truly charming. The characters and storyline come together in a beautiful way to tell a tale of finding yourself in unexpected ways, losing yourself in the unknown and taking chances and giving in to your dreams.
The narrator was fantastic too!

Sounded more like a lifetime movie.
Was hoping more depth story and more patisserie details - disappointing as it was not believable.
