News: The Confectioner's Tale by Laura Madeleine

Blurb:

At the famous Patisserie Clermont in Paris, 1909, a chance encounter with the owner’s daughter has given one young man a glimpse into a life he never knew existed: of sweet cream and melted chocolate, golden caramel and powdered sugar, of pastry light as air.

But it is not just the art of confectionery that holds him captive, and soon a forbidden love affair begins.

Almost eighty years later, an academic discovers a hidden photograph of her grandfather as a young man with two people she has never seen before. Scrawled on the back of the picture are the words ‘Forgive me’. Unable to resist the mystery behind it, she begins to unravel the story of two star-crossed lovers and one irrevocable betrayal.

I am not usually a fan of historical novels, but after reading the blurb of The Confectioner's Tale, it has piqued my interest. I love desserts and I can make a guess that this book will be up your street if you love reading books that feature food (and craving for them).

The Confectioner's Tale is out on 23rd Apr 2015.
