The story follows Edie Lane, a young Irish woman who leaves heartache and singledom behind after her mother's passing, trading a difficult past for what she hopes will be a dream job at a Paris bakery. She arrives to discover the bakery is not in Paris at all, but in the charming cobblestoned town of Compiègne, France. Under the watchful eye of a stern owner named Madame Moreau, Edie gradually uncovers the bakery's extraordinary secret: its pastries carry a touch of magic, capable of chasing away the darkest sorrows, unlocking precious memories, and revealing hidden longings. As she discovers an old recipe book, makes new friendships, and falls in love for the first time, the mysteries of the bakery — and of her own heart — slowly unravel against a backdrop rich with WWII history.
