false 5555919 2 A journalist and activist, Canela believes passion is essential to life; but lately passion seems to be in short supply. It has disappeared from her relationship with her fiancé, who is more interested in controlling her than encouraging her. It's absent from her work, where censorship and politics keep important stories from being published. And while her family is full of outspoken individuals, the only one Canela can truly call passionate is her cousin and best friend Luna, who just took her own life. <BR/><BR/><BR/> Canela can't recover from Luna's death. She is haunted by her ghost and feels acute pain for the dreams that went unrealized. Canela breaks off her engagement and uses her now un-necessary honeymoon ticket, to escape to Paris. Impulsively, she sublets a small apartment and enrolls at Le Coq Rouge, Paris's most prestigious culinary institute. <BR/><BR/><BR/> Cooking school is a sensual and spiritual reawakening that brings back Canela's hunger for life. With a series of new friends and lovers, she learns to once again savor the world around her. Finally able to cope with Luna's death, Canela returns home to her family, and to the kind of life she thought she had lost forever. 5727040 9 3 2009 Hungry Woman in Paris total:118|5:14|4:12|3:35|2:35|1:22| 118 315 240 46 4 0 false false Fri Sep 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 08:23:02 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 08:42:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 09:33:05 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 09:51:04 -0700 2009
