The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris
Nestled among the cobblestone streets of Compiègne, there existed a bakery unlike any other.
Rumours were whispered through the town that its pastries offered a taste of magic, chasing away the darkest of sorrows. Just one bite of a croissant might bring luck, unlock a precious memory or reveal hidden longings.
But dark clouds were looming on the horizon…
For Edie Lane, a recipe for disaster doesn’t require that many ingredients. Take an unhealthy amount of wishful thinking and a sprinkle of desperation and that’s how Edie left everything behind in Ireland for her dream job at a bakery in Paris. Except the bakery isn’t in Paris – and neither is Edie.
This might not be where Edie intended to be but she soon realizes it's exactly where she needs to be…
Evie Woods
In the windswept quiet of Ireland’s west coast, where history lingers in the air and stories hide between cobblestones, Evie Woods found her voice. Writing under a name as lyrical as the prose she’s known for, Woods invites readers into worlds where magic slips gently into the mundane, where lost letters find their way home, and old bookshops carry secrets through time.
Her breakout novel, The Lost Bookshop, didn’t just make an impression—it became a global sensation. Topping bestseller lists from The Sunday Times to The Wall Street Journal and selling over a million copies, the novel seamlessly weaves historical fiction with magical realism, exploring the invisible threads that connect past and present. Readers across more than 30 languages have followed its timeless journey, drawn in by Woods’ signature style: warm, wistful, and quietly transformative.
