Fiction

The Last Chinese Chef is the transporting story of how the sensual, romantic elements of haute Chinese cuisine become the perfect ingredients to lift the troubled soul of a grieving American woman. For food writer Maggie McElroy, it’s been a year of trying to get her equilibrium back in the wake of her husband’s premature death. Now comes a shock: a paternity claim has been filed against her husband’s estate. Could he, while working in his firm’s Beijing office, have fathered a child? In the end, Maggie does unravel the truth about her husband. But most profoundly, The Last Chinese Chef is the exhilarating story of a woman coming home to herself in the most unexpected of places.
