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.

I loved everything about it, I was gripped by the first chapter and tried so hard to not binge listen to it to make it last longer.the person who read it really captivated the characters. I'm so glad I found this book by accident,as now I am hooked by the author

a brilliant and perfect book

I couldn’t put this book down, it was so sensitively told about a rebellious teenage girl and her grandmother and how they were able to help each other , how they became close as a mutual understanding on both sides emerges. When the grandmother tells her granddaughter of her loves and life during the years of world war 2 this intrigued Raven as she realised it’s other people have problems in which she can help . I would highly recommend this book which has a rich cast of characters good and evil ,

one of the worst narrators, very slow and dull with accents making it hard to get into. The story itself maybe ok, but I can't get into it with her voice.
