liv: Bookshelf labelled: Caution. Hungry bookworm (bookies)
Author: Monica Ali

Details: (c) Monica Ali 2009; Pub Doubleday 2009; ISBN 978-0-38561-457-3

Verdict: In the kitchen is a fascinating character study of an unpleasant person.

Reasons for reading it: I enjoyed Ali's first novel, Brick Lane, although I had some qualms about it. And I was attracted by a book about a chef, cos my sister is one.

How it came into my hands: Library.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
