I love novels that are set in the WWII era. And in this one, in the village of Vergers located on the Normandy coast, there lives Emmanuelle (Emma) who through luck and hard work became an apprentice to Ezra, the baker of the village. As the war causes shortages Emma does her best to keep the village fed. One day she is baking when a newly arrived Nazi follows his nose to where she is baking. He orders her to bake 10 baguettes for his soldiers every day. To supply bread to her neighbors she has to improvise. When things get more desperate she begins making more changes to help her village survive. A very readable book.
