It is a great book if you like cooking,mystery, adventure and love. 

Enjoyable story about Ondine, a young Frenchwoman in 1930's Côte d'Azur, who meets Picasso in a most unique way. Flash to the present, Ondine's granddaughter, Celine, is trying to find a way to save her Mother from her step sister and brother's control. On a quest to find out more about her past, Celine ends up in the part of France where Ondine lived, searching for answers. A little fantastical but in a marvelous way.

"Sleeping with Picasso" may be more accurate. Interesting but a bit all over the place. Maybe one too many story lines and twists, but possibly necessary for character development.

Romanul de față este o desfătare, o bucurie! Este un roman contagios. Te izbește acea joie de vivre a francezilor și te determină să te îndrăgostești și mai tare de la cuisine francaise. Vă recomand să citiți numai după ce ați mâncat pentru că pe parcursul lecturii vi se va face o poftă teribilă de toate acele delicatese culinare, așa că mai bine să fiți preventivi. 🙂

Fun,Quick read

Enjoyable Read for Fans of Food and Art

Compelling yet richly detailed. There were parts I wished moved faster as I was eager to see how the story would end.

Fun, light and breezy!

Reading this book was like riding down the French Riviera. It made me want to travel, paint, and eat food while I'm at it!

I thought this story was entertaining, but the writing was quite wooden. I didn't care about any of the characters, and thought they were very flat. I don't mean to imply that I could write better, but I just didn't think this book holds up well beside other authors who write the same types of books.
