Description for Himmler´s Cook
Paperback. A gloriously rich and blackly funny French bestseller about Rose, a 105-year-old chef who has experienced life at its fullest.. and at its most deadly. Num Pages: 352 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 133 x 257 x 23. Weight in Grams: 238.
Aged 105, Rose has endured more than her fair share of hardships: the Armenian genocide, the Nazi regime, and the delirium of Maoism. Yet somehow, despite all the suffering, Rose never loses her joie de vivre. As she looks back over her long life - one of survival and, sometimes, one of retribution - she recalls those unique experiences that added such spice to her life, whether it was being a confidante to Hitler, a friend to Simone de Beauvoir or cooking for Heinrich Himmler.
