Description

Summer at the French Bakery invites readers on a sun-drenched escape to the south of France, where one woman's dream of a tranquil new life transforms into a heartwarming mission to restore a village's soul. Jo Thomas, the bestselling author of Love in Provence, delivers a feel-good escapist summer romance that pairs the irresistible aroma of fresh bread with the timeless charm of French countryside living.

When Juliet purchases an old watermill, she expects peace and quiet, but the local mayor has other plans. Tasked with reopening the derelict boulangerie, she faces a comical yet determined rival, her own baking inexperience, and long-buried secrets hidden within the mill itself. With the help of an outspoken neighbor and a charming Tabac owner, Juliet battles to bring the community together one loaf at a time, proving that big dreams only need a pinch of courage.

Filled with humor, warmth, and mouthwatering descriptions of French baking, this novel is a joyful celebration of second chances, the power of community, and the courage it takes to start over. Fans of uplifting women's fiction and armchair travel will be swept away to a world where every sunrise carries the promise of a fresh baguette and every sunset brings new friendships.
