Meh, This was a somewhat typical WWll story. A baker's apprentice has to take over after the owner is taken away to the camps.
The girl is brought to the attention of the Kommadant due to her bread making and is ordered to make 12 loafs a day for his men and she then starts adding straw to the bread to make extra loaves to feed those in her village.
Slow going and characters never develop much after the first couple of chapters. I understand that life in war time can be the same day after day and this is just what you are going to read about.
