It’s a commonality to speak of dysfunctional families, and I’d prefer to think of the Dartigan family as fragile and vulnerable. The mother would have been cold and stiff in any case, but when she is forced to live out her lonely life in occupied France, there is an added layer to their difficult life which tipped them all into tragedy. The novel moves between these World War II years and the 90s, when Framboise, the youngest Dartigan daughter and our narrator, now cooks for her small café but sees her adult life though the lens of her troubled childhood. The war years brought death to their soldier-father; the children, who barely understood the meaning of "occupied" and "Resistance" or even "Nazi," learned to trade on the black market and to long for the friendship of a particularly charismatic German. These were dangerous pastimes, and they did not end well. Through it all, their mother cooks, expressing love for her children in this singular way. They long for other expressions of love and do not love her back. But Framboise grows up to be a great cook and to finally come to terms with her youthful life, aided by her mother's recipe scrapbook and a gentle childhood friend. There are wonderful passages about food, the redemptive ingredient for the mother and the point of entry for Framboise to understand her mother. I embrace the author’s love for France and its particular culture of cuisine!
