About This Item
Toronto: Random House Canada, 2014. 1st English Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. SIGNED by author to title page. First English edition. Translated from the French by Sheila Fischman. Light blue paper boards with gilt lettering to spine. Roughly cut edges. 139 p.p. Spine ends lightly bumped, small scuff to fore edge of rear board. Dust jacket in near fine condition. Man has three mothers: the one who gives birth to her in wartime, the nun who plucks her from a vegetable garden, and her beloved Maman, who becomes a spy to survive. Seeking security for her grown daugther, Maman finds Man a husband - a lonely Vietnamese restaurateur who lives in Montreal. Thrown into a new world, Man discovers her natural talent as a chef. When she encounters a married chef in Paris, everything changes in the instant of a fleeting touch, and Man discovers the all-encompassing obsession and ever-present dangers of a love affair. A novel that begs to be savoured for its language, its sensuousness, and its its joie de vivre.
