The bestselling author of "A Chocolate Affair" gives black family life the royal treatment in this funny, touching new novel about the once-close Chevaliers, whose world spins out of control when they move back to the United States from Paris.
This book was a little different than her others, but I still enjoyed reading it. The beginning threw me off just a little, but it made sense as I kept gong.
From what I remember about this book, it kinda pissed me off! EVERYBODY had a french name! Really??? It was boring and although I recognize it is fiction, it was still too out of touch with reality for me. I couldn't get past EVERYONE having french names in New Orleans. SO beyond unrealistic!
Nice story. The characters weren't fully developed, but they were okay. I enjoyed the fact that the family was from Paris (I love that city and hope to go one day.)
