Petra Van petravandermade — This is my favorite collection of short stories.

Pierre Pousin pierre_pousin — Canela is unhappy. She and her fiancee have just broken off their engagement because they couldn’t agree on the menu for their reception and her favorite cousin has just committed suicide. Canela remembers that she has the tickets for her honeymoon in Paris and decides to go there on her own. After her time in the Honeymoon Suite runs out, she stays with a friend. Her friend explains to her that she can only stay in France for 3 months without a carte de sejour. Canela decides to enroll in culinary school since they’ll help her get her carte de sejour. Canela’s friend returns to the U. S. when her mother becomes ill, so Canela finds herself alone in a foreign city. While she doesn’t flourish at cooking school she manages to graduate and learns a lot about herself and life along the way. A Hungry Woman in Paris by Josefina López is the story of Canela’s struggle to find her place in the world. She has to decide if she will succumb to the role that is expected of her or choose to be true to herself and her passions. Since Josefina has been an immigrant in two different societies (the U. S. and France) she does a fantastic job of describing what it’s like when you don’t feel like you fit in. Since we lived in France for two years, I really enjoyed the descriptions of Paris and the carte de sejour stories. I think the ending of the book sums it up very well: "Everything is about food and hunger, whether it is hunger for the body or hunger for the soul. As long as I am alive I will always be hungry for revolution, for justice and truth, but I am no longer hungry for my soul the way I used to be. I have plenty of beautiful memories and life-inspiring moments to nourish my soul for many lifetimes. . . I hope this was delicious." There are some graphic sexual scenes in this book that some readers may find offensive. Josefina López is an award-winning playwright, screenwriter and poet. She is the co-author of the movie Real Women Have Curves. This is her first novel, and she has another one in the works.
