The Baker's Man by Jennifer Moorman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Mystic Water is no ordinary place, it has a magical quality; nothing is really what it seems. The author has a wonderful, original style of writing, where she describes everything by sounds and smells that really bring the story alive. The main character in this fantasy story is Anna, a baker, who has inherited her talent for baking, and the family bakery, from her grandmother. All her life, she has heard the stories and rumours about her grandmother and grandfather. Mystic Water is a small town where everyone knows everyone. When Anna's boyfriend leaves town to take a job far away and doesn't ask her to go with him, Anna is left alone and feels rejected. With the help of her best friend and a bit of magic she is soon back on her feet, but who is the mysterious Eli, and will he come between her and one of her oldest friends?

This story is really well written and engaging. It's like a fairy tale for grown ups. The descriptive quality of the writing and the way the characters all seem so real, makes this book one that you can get lost in. "The Baker's Man" is a magical escape from reality that I would recommend to anyone who likes romantic fiction and fantasy.
