This was a different style of telling the story of a person's life; Eva, a young woman with a once in a lifetime palette, is revealed through her relationships throughout her life, from her father Lars in her childhood, through her adopted parents, her cousin Braque, her mother Cindy and others. It's a bit disorienting as each chapter introduces another character and the transitions are abrupt. The theme is food and its importance in linking people through life. A quirky read.
