Emoni is seventeen, has a two year old daughter and is struggling to keep up in school - but she wants to be a chef more than anything. But trying to raise a two year old alone, living with a grandmother who suddenly has more doctors appointments, and a blossoming relationship that might be more trouble than it's worth, Emoni isn't sure that she can hold everything together...
This was a truly lovely book. This was different from anything that I have read before, but it was an excellent book that gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling by the end. I loved Emoni and her 'Buela - they are wonderful characters that were varied and kept the story interesting.
The selling point of this novel is the food woven throughout - recipes and references that are soulful and nourishing. This was a beautiful story, and I really enjoyed it.
Also - how stinking beautiful is this cover?!
