Book Description:
From Booklist
This second novel is an aromatic ode to the carbohydrate and a poignant tale of loves and lives lost and regained.
Esme learned to make her signature sourdough bread under the romantic tutelage of Louis while on holiday in France. Their tumultuous love affair ends in betrayal, and brokenhearted Esme retreats to England. Years later, Esme frantically flees London. She has been replaced at her glamorous editing job by a backstabbing employee and suffered an unexplained family tragedy.
Living like country gentry in a peculiarly constructed farmhouse with dysfunctional farm animals, her father-in-law, and her own grandmother, Granny Mac, Esme hopes to bring back her family's absent joy.
With the sage and saucy advice of her Scottish granny, Esme realizes she must revisit her painful past to overcome her pain-filled present.
The story slides easily between Esme's budding first romance with Louis and her current gloomy situation. A tearjerker in every sense of the word, so readers will laugh and cry along with Esme as she rediscovers her bread and strength.
Highly recommended. Kaite Mediatore

Beth T. (Not the most realistic story in the world, but if you like food books, it's probably worth reading--makes you appreciate sourdough bread.
Loved this book. Heartwarming wonderful characters. Could hardly put it down.
