The Mouse-Proof Kitchen by Saira Shah

3.0

The synopsis looked good; the first few pages did not draw me in and I was doubting the whole premise. By the end, while I still felt like the France/food/fixer-upper house premise was forced and staged, the conflict of caring for, loving and grieving for a severely disabled child was well played out and examined. It was sympathetic and balanced and did not take the easy way out.
