If you have not read Stephen Kiernan's THE BAKER'S SECRET you ought to read the reviews you get when you type author & title on Google

 I liked it very much when I first read it a few years ago. I read it more slowly this week, savoring the sentences, and liked it even more. The stroke of genius was to make the heroine a young woman who does not hope for an allied invasion which will end the years of occupation. Not recognizing that some of her friends are in the Resistance, she resists in her own way. This is a beautifully written book.
