Era 1945 WW2 Germany to present day USA.
1945: As a very young teen the bakers daughter lived in Germany during the war at Hitler's rein. We are told the story of the choices she made and hardships she endured.
Present day: Now with a bakery of her own, with a daughter of her own, and a life filled with memories baking the breads and rolls her father taught her how to bake we see how her choices have effected her famlies life then and now. Even though this story really centers around 3 women, Elise the girl from Germany, Jane, her daughter, and Reba the reporter. Elise is the one who stands out in my mind. If it weren't for her there would be no story. Parts of this read broke my heart and I cried. Parts were joyful. The book as a whole left me touched and still pondering why things were as they were.
What a mesmerizing read this was. Although I knew Elsie was a fictional character I so wanted to meet this strong woman in person.The author was new to me and I will searh for more she offers. There was a flow to this novel that kept the pages turning and the lights burning until late in the night. I loved it!!.
