I really did not even enjoy the last book in this series, but this one got back to the magical realism that made me love this series at first. We now are following Violet, who is an adult and living in Paris. After leaving her family in Maine to go to culinary school in Paris and staying to work pâtissiere you would think that Violet is happy. But she realizes that keeping herself apart from others for so long has left her feeling adrift. And she has seemed to lost her heart after leaving Maine.
I thought this story was lovely. It’s a coming of an end with one character we have gotten to know through four books, and a new beginning for another. I thought that Hoffman told this story very well though it made me sad and homesick for my own family while reading.
