Charlotte au Chocolat: Memories of a Restaurant Girlhood

Author: Charlotte Silver
Stars: 2
Review by: KM

A biography. Distinctive, but there is a sadness or even melancholic nuance underpinning the writing. I was disappointed--expected something lighter, more fun. A great thing about being in the summer reading club is I felt I should finish it, (something to do with being school-age again and having a book report due!) So, I hung in there and at least discovered that the last few chapters are brighter and more interesting. I felt better for having completed it. Reading to the end made the experience of this book better for me, but still, I give it a 2.
