Cooking for Picasso
by Camille Aubray
Definitely chic lit, but very readable. In the beginning, the book read like someone writing for a writing class: way too much gratuitous description. I could almost hear a writing instructor saying, "Describe the smells and the feel. What was he wearing? What colour were the walls? What kind of flowers were on the table, etc." But that seemed to lessen as the novel progressed. A blend of history and fiction, focussed around Picasso and his time in a small town in France. Some descriptions of French cooking and recipes.
Cute, readable, fluffy, entertaining, a little bit of romantic fantasy, though that's not until the end.
A bit of a mystery as well which keeps the pace of the book moving.
Rating: 4/5
Recommendation: not literature, but nice, light entertainment.
