The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine by Alina Bronsky

3.0

Bronsky's tale of a dysfunctional family lead by a ballsy Tartar matriarch is dark, funny, and deeply sad. The narrative spans some 30-odd years but maintains a conversational approach throughout, never getting swept up in the epic timeline. The novel has the taste of a particularly bittersweet chocolate.
