The Hundred-Foot Journey is the story of Hassan Haji, a boy from Mumbai who embarks, along with his boisterous family, on a picaresque journey first to London and then across Europe, before they ultimately open a restaurant opposite a famous chef, Madame Mallory, in the remote French village of Lumiere. A culinary war ensues, pitting Hassan's Mumbai-toughened father against the imperious Michelin-starred cordon bleu, until Madame Mallory realizes that Hassan is a cook with natural talents far superior to her own.
Recently I have received some review novels in the post more than once. Rather than forcing them upon my friends (I've had a lot of clear-outs this year and I think everyone's bookshelves are pretty full by now) I thought I'd hold giveaways for you guys each Friday for the next few weeks ^_^
The first giveaways (now closed) were for Paper Swans by Jessica Thompson and One Step Closer to You by Alice Peterson. The final giveaway (for now) is for a paperback copy of The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais.
The film adaption with Helen Mirren is out today (it's like I timed it!), which is delicious and very charming, and I cannot wait to dig into the book to see how it compares!
If you're the winner it'd be brilliant if you can write a review for the novel on your blog or a bookish site such as Amazon and Goodreads, but you don't have to if you don't want to :)
