The Resistance Bakery Siobhan Curham

What a great place to hide anything to do with the French Resistance. 

No one, including the Germans, can resist a bakery and especially Coralie's scrumptious pastries.


We follow Coralie from 1943 Paris where she owns a patisserie, but also does resistance work to present day in San Francisco where we meet her granddaughter, Raven, she never knew. 


Raven is determined to find out about her grandmother's life during the war and especially when she finds a worn cookbook with notes and a photograph inside that makes her think her grandmother fell in love with a Nazi.


Raven is afraid to ask too much because she is enjoying staying with her grandmother.


THE RESISTANCE BAKERY is a heartbreaking, but also uplifting read with such delicious food your mouth will be watering. 


If you have read Ms. Curham's books, you know you will be in for a marvelous read.  If you haven't read her books, this will be a perfect one to start with.


So “treat” yourself to a lovely read you won't be able to put down or forget and one that has a great main character.  5/5


Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
