" Charlotte au Chocolat charms."- The New York Times Book Review "Every paragraph here is a confection of wit, color, texture, and taste, all overlaid with a dusting of melancholy for a lost restaurant, a lost time, a childhood that set Charlotte Silver apart and inspired her to write this utterly captivating memoir."- The Huffington Post "Silver illustrates the details of her upbringing with luminous clarity . . . these poignant moments are as exact as poetry."- The Boston Globe "Bright and vivacious."- USA Today "Child of artist-restauranteurs, Silver recalls a girlhood filled with pink linens, candied violets, and constant threat of financial ruin. But it's her ode to her quirky, dazzling mom that makes the dish."- Good Housekeeping, " Charlotte au Chocolat is simply exquisite. Savor it. Devour it. Silver has taken a cool-eyed, unsentimental look at her unique and strange childhood and made lavish, glorious art of it."--Lily King, author of Father of the Rain "Charlotte Silver has written a love song to a remarkable restaurant and a vanished world. I devoured these pages with the same enthusiasm as the author brings to pheasant's legs and steak tartare on toast."--Margot Livesey, author of Eva Moves the Furniture "Reading Charlotte au Chocolat is like sitting down to a sumptuous, many-coursed dinner--and then, after taking your last bite of Queen Mother's cake, having the pleasure of lingering in the kitchen, where a cast of vivid characters conjures culinary magic until closing time. A feast of a book!"--Allison Hoover Bartlett, author of The Man Who Loved Books Too Much, " Charlotte au Chocolat charms."-- The New York Times Book Review "Every paragraph here is a confection of wit, color, texture, and taste, all overlaid with a dusting of melancholy for a lost restaurant, a lost time, a childhood that set Charlotte Silver apart and inspired her to write this utterly captivating memoir."-- The Huffington Post "Silver illustrates the details of her upbringing with luminous clarity . . . these poignant moments are as exact as poetry."-- The Boston Globe "Bright and vivacious."-- USA Today "Child of artist-restauranteurs, Silver recalls a girlhood filled with pink linens, candied violets, and constant threat of financial ruin.
