A book with a lot of story. Food, romance, war, politics, human relationships & sex. My opinion though the sex was way too explicit. Would have been better for the build up then fade away rather then go into so much detail! Otherwise a very good read. Turns out to be a page turner. Hopefully it will be made into a movie.

I began reading this book not expecting much, but I was delightfully surprised to fin it is one of the best I have read in a very long time. It is, of course, about romance and delicious food. But it is also about history, for as it turns out most of the events and incidents described in this book actually took place.
