Perfect for you if...

  • You love dual-timeline stories where the present-day mystery matters as much as the wartime drama.
  • You're drawn to understated resistance stories that focus on ordinary people making extraordinary choices.
  • You want a book that explores how trauma echoes through generations and what it takes to finally talk about the past.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced thrillers with high stakes action rather than emotional, character-driven narratives.
  • You're not interested in family reconciliation arcs or grandmother-granddaughter relationships.
  • You find coded messages and puzzle-solving elements tedious rather than engaging.

About this book

In Paris, 1943, Coralie closes her bakery and flees the city, hiding a leather recipe book that contains coded information about people she helped save from German forces. Decades later, Raven is sent to spend the summer with her grandmother, a woman she barely knows. While exploring her grandmother's home, Raven discovers the same tattered leather-bound recipe book filled with handwritten recipes and coded numbers. A faded photograph falls from its pages, showing a laughing couple with mysterious writing on the back. Raven's grandmother has never baked for her and refuses to discuss Paris or her past. As Raven investigates the book's contents and the photograph, she uncovers questions about what truly happened in that French bakery during World War Two, what role forbidden love played in her grandmother's life, and whether this discovery can heal old wounds or will damage any chance of connection before time runs out.
