The Little Breton Bistro by Nina George
4.0
I'm not going to lie to you, when I started reading this book and the opening pages were about Marianne the main character leaping into the Seine in an attempt to end her life and get away from her husband of 35 years I thought I wasn't going to enjoy reading it.
How wrong was I? After leaving the hospital Marianne finds her way to the Breton town of Kerduc which she had seen painted on a coaster in the hospital. She ends up with a job and a place to stay in the restaurant of Ar Mor and soon begins to find herself.
I really enjoyed reading about Marianne and watching her new character to develop. I also enjoyed reading about the lives of the other residents in Kerduc. This was a lovely easy read.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Netgalley and Abacus.
