READERS GUIDE INCLUDED.
A beautifully imagined novel about the ties that bind--and links that break-- The Lost Art of Mixing is a captivating meditation on the power of love, food, and companionship.
Their lives collide and mix with those around them, sometimes joining in effortless connections, at other times sifting together and separating again, creating a family that is chosen, not given.
And there\'s Lillian herself, whose life has taken a turn she didn\'t expect...
There\'s Al, the accountant who finds meaning in numbers
Chloe, a budding chef who hasn\'t learned to trust after heartbreak
Finnegan, quiet and steady as a tree, who can disappear into the background despite his massive height
Louise, Al\'s wife, whose anger simmers just below the boiling point; and Isabelle, whose memories are slowly slipping from her grasp.
Lillian and her restaurant have a way of drawing people together.
