Thank you for the free review copy.

I enjoyed reading this. The writer is very good at telling a compelling story. The characters were so interesting that I wished the book was longer. I liked also the idea of weaving recipes into the plot. This was well handled and the recipes moved the story along. I would buy this book.

A wonderful love story reaching from the second world war to the present day .It truly is an enchanting read.

I loved this dual timeline historical romance set in Paris in 1942 and 2002.
The 1942 storyline was definitely my favourite, even though I don’t tend to read books set in Europe during World War Two any more. I loved Sylvie straight away, admired her bravery and determination to play her part in the French Resistance. I wasn’t too sure about Christoph, but I did warm to him in the end as he finally stood up for what he believed in.
I loved the discovery of the recipe book in 2002, and Julia’s determination to help Christoph recover his fading memory, despite his son Daniel not wanting her to proceed. There was a lot of tension in both timelines, but for very different reasons and it worked really well for me as I kept turning the pages to find out what was going to happen in 1942 and 2002.
The romances between both Sylvie and Christoph in 1942 and between Julia and Daniel in 2002 were both slow burns and quite complicated, which made them feel very natural.
Highly recommended if you enjoy dual timeline historical romances set in Paris.
