Eva Thorvald is a 6' 2" "super taster." Even as a baby she had a discerning palate and as she gets older she becomes a successful chef and all around good person. Abandoned by her mother as a baby, she is adopted by her uncle and his wife after her father dies. The stories of her family life, relationships and food are interesting and although many are sweet, they avoid becoming too sentimental. Eva is a person who figures things out and get what she wants but in the best way. I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it immensely. I then got the print book because there are recipes included and I'm a complete sucker for those.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy literary fiction that is mostly realistic and ends on a high note.
