Paperback. Condizione: Fair. From the author of The School for German Brides, this captivating dual timeline historical novel set in nineteenth-century and post?World War II Paris follows two fierce women of the same family, generations apart, who find that their futures lie in the four walls of a simple bakery in a tiny corner of Montmartre. 1870: The Prussians are at the city gates, intent to starve Paris into submission.
