Samenvatting

Two women adrift in New York - an Iraqi immigrant widow and the latchkey daughter of a famous chef - find each other and a new kind of family through their shared love of cooking. Lorca, a sensitive and troubled thirteen-year-old, spends hours poring over cookbooks, seeking out ingredients for her distracted chef of a mother, who is about to send her off to boarding school. In one last effort to secure her mother's love and prove herself indispensable, Lorca resolves to replicate her mother's ideal meal. Victoria, an octogenarian Iraqi immigrant, teaches cooking lessons. Grappling with grief over her husband's death, Victoria has been dreaming of the daughter they gave up forty years ago. Together these two women - a widow and an almost-orphan - begin to suspect they are connected through more than a love of food.

    • Goede verhaallijn
    • Meeslepend verhaal

    I was hoping to read a soft, fluffy story full of friendship and old-fashion wisdom where a teenager and a 80-year old woman become friends and learn from each other. Instead I was thrown head first into a story about the darker sides of love. The friendship doesn’t come easily and is not the main focus of the story. In alternating chapters we get to know Lorca who would do anything to get her mother’s attention and Victoria, who is trying to cope with the death of her husband. Lorca’s self-harming behavior is described in a painfully realistic way. This is a book about loneliness and grief as much as it is a book about the celebration of food, family and life.
