London, 1940. The sirens wail, bombs fall, and a widow named Ellie Harcourt clings to the one thing that has always sustained her-her bakery. Each morning, while rubble is cleared from the streets, Ellie kneads dough and lights her ovens, filling her small shop with the stubborn scent of survival.But the bakery is more than a place for bread. Beneath its cosy façade, Ellie shelters neighbours during raids, comforts frightened children, and quietly joins the fight against tyranny. With the help of coded messages hidden inside her pastries, she becomes an unexpected link in a fragile chain of resistance.As the Blitz rages on, Ellie must choose between keeping her head down or risking everything to protect those she loves. Her shop may be small, but within its walls burns a defiance brighter than the bombs outside.The Blackout Baker is a moving story of resilience, community, and quiet heroism. Perfect for readers of Pam Jenoff, Kate Quinn, and Kristin Hannah, it reminds us that even in the darkest nights, the warmth of courage can still rise.
