I thoroughly enjoyed the book... I thought the book was well
written, evocative and engaging. I read it in a matter of days and
didn't want it to end, enjoying the story as well as the little
insights and secrets of cooking traditional French dishes.

from a vivacious backdrop to an engaging tale of love and loss.
