This is a lush and sensuous book about being different. A Vietnamese cook named Binh comes to Paris in search of himself and ends up as the cook to Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas. The language is beautiful and the descriptions of food are more than mouth-watering-they are like a trail of words leading us to the main character's heart.
