Charlotte Silver has written a love song to a remarkable restaurant and a vanished world. I devoured these pages with the same enthusiasm as the author brings to pheasant's legs and steak tartare on toast. (Margot Livesey, author of Eva Moves the Furniture)
Lily King
Charlotte au Chocolat is simply exquisite. Savor it. Devour it. Silver has taken a cool-eyed, unsentimental look at her unique and strange childhood and made lavish, glorious art of it. (Lily King, author of Father of the Rain)
Allison Hoover Bartlett
Reading Charlotte au Chocolat is like sitting down to a sumptuous, many-coursed dinner—and then, after taking your last bite of Queen Mother's cake—having the pleasure of lingering in the kitchen, where a cast of vivid characters conjures their culinary magic until closing time. A feast of a book! (Allison Hoover Bartlett, author of The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective and a World of Literary Obsession)
