Review: The Mouse-Proof Kitchen by Saira Shah

Author: Saira Shah
Genre: Contemporary fiction
Pages: 352
Published: 2013

I have been looking at this book on the shelf for a little while now, very intrigued by the title, when I finally decided to read the description in the book jacket. Anna is a professional chef and when she and her husband are expecting their baby, they decide they are going to move away from London and relocate to France to raise their child. Unfortunately, things do not go according to plan when their baby is born with some major disabilities and they have to reconsider their decision to uproot their lives.

The subject matter of this book is absolutely heartbreaking, having a baby born with major medical problems and they are afraid to fall in love with their baby, not knowing what the future holds for her. I thought this was very well written and honest, although very sad. I would definitely recommend it.
