How hard can it be to run a restaurant when you've fed fussy children and been a circus caterer? Myriam's sudden, characteristically impulsive decision to open a restaurant in her Paris flat transforms her life in a curious way. For the last six years, Myriam has been livving in self-imposed exile, cut off from her cool, reserved husband and from the son she found herself unable to love, and the opening night of Chez Moi is typically desolate. But little by little, Myriam's mouth-watering dishes draw people in, first the florist from across the road, followed by the school children tempted by a four-euro lunch, and then Ben, the most unflappable and devoted of waiters. As the restaurant sizzles towards success, figures and feelings from Myriam's past also being to emerge, gradually re-awakening her appetite for life, both the bitter parts and the sweet. Simmering with stories, recipes, observations and dreams, Chez Moi serves up a painfully adult story, with an irresistible sprinkling of wonder and magic.

A profound and tender novel about a womanas troubled pasta and her enduring love of cooking
At forty-three, Myriam has been a wife, mother, and loverabut never a restauranteur. When she opens Chez Moi in a quiet neighborhood in Paris, she has no idea how to run a business, but armed only with her love of cooking, she is determined to try. Barely able to pay the rent, Myriam secretly sleeps in the dining room and bathes in the kitchen sink, while struggling to come to terms with the painful memories of her past. But soon enough her delectable cuisine brings her many neighbors to Chez Moi, and Myriam finds that she may get a second chance at life and love. Redolent with the sights, smells, and tastes of Paris, "Chez Moi" is a charming story that will appeal to the many readers who fell in love with Joanne Harrisas "Chocolat" and Laura Esquivelas "Like Water for Chocolate,"
