About this listen

Paris, 1943. The scent of fresh baguettes hangs in the air as Coralie unbolts the door to her bakery with trembling fingers. She must get out of the city. Hiding her precious leather recipe book inside her coat, she promises never to let the secret locations of the people she worked tirelessly to save fall into German hands…

Present day. Raven is unhappy about being shipped off to the other side of the country for the summer to stay with the mysterious French grandmother she barely knows. And discovering a tattered, leather-bound book with yellowed pages full of handwritten recipes and coded numbers, she is stunned.

Her grandmother has never baked for her. And she refuses to talk about Paris, or the past. Flipping through the book, a faded photograph of a laughing couple falls out. As Raven scans the writing on the back she can scarcely believe her eyes…

What really happened in that tiny French bakery all those years ago? And could this forgotten recipe book finally bring healing to a woman still haunted by wartime secrets? Or has Raven’s discovery shattered any chance of bonding with her grandmother, before her time runs out?

The Resistance Bakery is an unforgettable story about forbidden love and family secrets in World War Two. Fans of The Letter, The Nightingale and Fiona Valpy will be totally hooked.

WW II from a different front. While the gross treatment of Jews in Germany and Austria was taking place, it's sad to say other areas of Europe were also being affected by the Nazi Regime. Though this is a fictional tale of the French experience at the same time, it is a nicely written piece of historical fiction

Undoubtedly, one of the best books I’ve ever read. This is a new author for me. I will definitely be listening to more of her books. The narration is excellent also and makes the words come alive.

I rarely write reviews. This is one that I had to share. The writing and storytelling was superb. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. So many twists and turns. The performance by the narrator was perfection. She was able to bring each character alive with all of their different accents. It was also, refreshing to not have strong explicit vocab and unnecessary details about their physical intimacy. I appreciate books like this that are tastefully done. Again, this is a fantastic book that I highly recommend.

One of the best!!!

this story was moving and intriguing. it could work well as a movie! My only criticism is that the narrator spoke too slowly, but that was easily fixed by speeding it up to 1.2x speed.

great story and narration
