Después de trasladarse con su marido a la minúscula isla china de Macao, Grace Miller se siente una extraña en un país extranjero. Además, su matrimonio está en jaque y sus sueños de crear una familia empiezan a caer en pedazos.
Entonces, decide recurrir a lo que más le gusta: preparar macarons, las deliciosas y exquisitas galletas francesas. Grace inaugura una cafetería en la que, rodeada de otras expatriadas y lugareñas, logra crear una nueva definición de lo que supone un hogar y una familia.
Pero, cuando unos secretos que creyó enterrados hace tiempo salen a la superficie, Grace se da cuenta de que ha llegado el momento de inhumar viejos fantasmas y empezar a confiar en sí misma.

An easy to read chick lit. I felt that the book could have been a lot shorter as some chapters felt like 'fillers' but otherwise it was a lovely light read. ( )

A book about Macau, marriage and macarons.

Nice story, nice enough to make me go look for macaron recipes. ( )

This was a sweet holiday read about enduring friendship, change, acceptance and finding your place in the world. With believable characters, touching moments and descriptive passages, I could almost taste the different macaroons and feel the atmosphere in the cafe, and Macau itself. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It was just so enjoyable and made me want to drink tea and eat macarons. I have tried to find macarons in a bakery since I finished the book but I think I will have to try to make them myself.
I loved the story of how Grace saved herself and her marriage by starting her tea and macaron shop. The friendships gained and the the strength she developed was inspiring. ( )
