The Sweetness of Forgetting by Kristin Harmel Book Summary

The “beautifully complex” (Woman’s Day) classic that made Kristin Harmel a superstar follows a woman who must travel from Cape Cod to Paris to uncover a family secret for her dying grandmother that could change everything. Updated with a new author’s note and recipes for this 10th anniversary edition!

At thirty-six, Hope McKenna-Smith is no stranger to bad news. She lost her mother to cancer, her husband left her, and her bank account is nearly depleted. Her own dreams of becoming a lawyer long gone, she’s running a failing family bakery on Cape Cod and raising a troubled preteen.

Now, Hope’s beloved French-born grandmother Mamie is drifting away in a haze of Alzheimer’s. But in a rare moment of clarity, Mamie realizes that unless she tells Hope about the past, the secrets she has held on to for so many years will soon be lost forever. Tantalizingly, she reveals mysterious snippets of a tragic history in WWII Paris. Armed with a scrawled list of names, Hope heads to France to uncover a seventy-year-old mystery.

What follows is “an immersive and evocative tale of generations struggling to survive” (Publishers Weekly) as Hope pieces together her grandmother’s past bit by bit. Uncovering horrific tales of the Holocaust, she realizes the astonishing will of her grandmother to endure in a world gone mad. And to reunite two lovers torn apart by terror, all she’ll need is a dash of courage, and the belief that God exists everywhere, even in cake.

“Kristin Harmel is a powerful and dazzling voice in historical fiction.” —Patti Callahan, New York Times bestselling author of Surviving Savannah

Good read. I really enjoyed this historical book. It captured so many different themes and wove them into a story that captured the heart while remembering the past.

The Then and Now of Loving and Survival. What a beautiful story of survival. Women are stronger and loyal to the ones they love and nurture through life. But World War 2 was a time when evil was rampant through this world all aimed at the Jews. This book is about a young mother with a need to protect her unborn child. It is about the love of soul mates. There is a beautiful story she tells to her child, her grandchild and her great grandchild . Everyone both man and woman needs to read to understand what this time in history held. We need to every ounce of our being not let this level never surface again.

Wonderful. Great read. Could not put it down after the first few chapters!

One more amazing book from K. Harmel. Beautiful story with beautiful hearts ❤️ loved it. Love this author. I have been reading many of her books

one dimensional characters. I wanted to love this book but I just didn’t find it believable. Characters had no depth and the plot was predictable.

Loved it!. Another great Kristen Harmel read!

Love it!. Great!! A story that shows all the sacrifices these children had to live through! ♥️
