Markéta Polívková Livres

Dojemně upřímný a zároveň zábavný autobiografický román o rodině, lásce a životě na francouzském venkově. Anna jako šéfkuchařka moc dobře ví, že když něco člověk doopravdy chce, je třeba vše dokonale naplánovat. Když připravujete bešamelovou omáčku, musíte také přidat v pravou chvíli ty správné suroviny v přesném poměru. Jakmile tedy zjistila, že je těhotná, naplánovala si pro sebe, manžela a pro své dokonalé dítě úžasný život v Provence. Jenže osud přichystal pro Annu s Tobiasem noční můru. Dozvěděli se, že jejich dcerka Freya má poškozený mozek a nebude se vyvíjet mentálně ani fyzicky. Tobias odmítal takové dítě přijmout, ale Anna prostě nedokázala dcerku opustit. Rodina posléze skončila na poničeném statku v Languedocu, plném myší, a stala se magnetem pro všechny vyděděnce z okolí. Uprostřed krásné přírody, obklopena francouzskou chutí do života a gastronomií, se Anna pokusila dát do pořádku, když ne svůj život, tak alespoň zanedbanou starou kuchyň na statku – svou novou svatyni. Čím více se ale snažila situaci zvládnout, tím více se jí vše vymykalo z rukou. Jednu věc však Anna ani Tobias neočekávali – jak hluboce nakonec Freya svou pouhou existencí jejich životy ovlivní.
