NOTES
"Originally published in German as Der Geschichtenbäcker in 2022 by Piper Verlag GmbH, Munich, Germany."-- Title page verso
"Though she only just started her temporary job at the village bakery, former ballet dancer Sofie already wants to quit from day one. Her career abruptly ended after an injury threatened all chances of success, and losing her most beloved passion has thrown her life off track. Yet there's something about the rhythms of the bakery that captivates her. Fascinated, Sofie watches Italian baker Giacomo at work, and discovers that baking bread is almost like a dance: The dough is kneaded on beat, the rotation of the hands a steady rhythm, the swing of the hips like a practiced routine. To her own surprise, Sofie comes to see the little bakery as far more than just a place of work: It slowly transforms into a reprieve. It is here that she discovers the wisdom of a simple man, the joy of small things and the courage to embrace change."--
