Nina George is a prolific German author. Most of her books have not been transcribed to English. This story is about a woman named Marianne who lives a lonely life with her husband in Berlin. On a vacation tour in Paris she decides she has had enough and she leaves him. She travels to Brittany and ends up in a tiny village by the shore. She is offered a job at a bistro and a room at a hotel. Marianne meets people who welcome her, teach her how to speak French, and surround her with acceptance. Gradually she comes back to the person she was before her stifling marriage. The Little French Bistro is a lovely story about a woman reclaiming her identity at age 60. The descriptions of the food made my mouth water.
