review 1: I had a bit of a hard time enjoying this strange little book. The protagonist, Myriam, is a damaged woman looking for a new start. She opens a restaurant in Paris, the setting for the book. She has a secret from her past that has alienated her from her family, including her now-college-aged son. Despite her best efforts to sabotage what she does, success finds her and her restaurant named Chez Moi. Guilt from the past fills her mind and inhabits her dreams. In the end, well, I won't spoil that for those of you who want to read this book. It was a quick and easy read, but not a book I can recommend.
review 2: I loved this book about a fallen woman who opens a French restaurant with no sign to indicate "restaurant" and very little business sense. The main ch... morearacter Myriam has a strange mind and a vivid imagination - usually for disaster scenarios. Sometimes her low self-esteem was so predictable I felt annoyed (even though I know it can be just like that) but otherwise I enjoyed the dark and sometimes lyrical writing, and also the other quirky characters. The way Myriam narrates food, and the dishes she serves at Chez Moi, had me wanting to eat in her establishment. less
