Description
Imagine a little riverside town stitched back together after war. Bread is back on tables. People are trying to be ordinary again. Then Violet arrives with her dark hair, her diamonds, and the charming man everyone calls the ambassador. Elodie, the baker’s wife, can’t look away. She watches, follows, and confesses in secret letters. She wants beauty. She wants to be chosen. She wants to be seen. Their lives tangle—across a party full of smoke, by a lake at dawn, in a kitchen sticky with crumbs—until everything slides off its rails. A mysterious dropper. A perfect loaf. A midsummer fire. And finally, a town undone in one terrible day. Cursed Bread is unsettling, intimate, and razor-sharp. It’s a love story and a ghost story, a confession and a warning. It asks what desire makes us do, and how a whole place can break at once.
