This book was okay. I thought it worked much better as a movie, which I saw a while ago, so I didn't remember the story, but I remember the movie creating an atmosphere for the viewer that just worked much better than the book, because more senses then just reading were necessary for the appreciation. I liked the characters, they were very candid and the descriptions are very direct. I also liked how recipes were used to help tell the story. Quick easy read.

I read this novel quickly in JFK airport while waiting for my plane. I enjoyed it but was very disappointed in the ending. I also thought some of the writing was stilted but I wonder how much of that was the translation. I do think I'll try out the chile in walnut sauce recipe, though.
