The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry
by Kathleen Flinn
Review by Jake-the-Girl
I noticed this book when it came out in hardcover, but it wasn't until the publisher sent me a review copy that I actually picked it up to read it. I loved it! Kathleen Flinn is a 36-year-old woman in middle management, working abroad in London. She is fired from her job soon after she falls in love with her friend of 3 years, and they decide to drop everything and live in Paris for a year so Kat can study French cuisine at the Cordon Bleu. Flinn's passion for food is evident in every sentence, and I loved her outsider's view of Paris, Parisians, and French chefs. A must-read for foodies, Francophiles, and anyone who liked Eat, Pray, Love.
And now...
