Just to note... I did not finish reading this book, started but after 100 pages I was realistic, I will not finish... Maybe is because I read quite recently [b:The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared|13486632|The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared|Jonas Jonasson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1334848488s/13486632.jpg|10365993]and this book is quite similar, maybe is because the story did not had the grip, but for the first time in my life I can't make myself to like a book and I just leave it. I don't think I will take it again, there are so many great books that are claiming to be read!!! This is not one of those for me.... ( )

He aquí la hilarante epopeya de Rose, una cocinera que nunca le ha temido a nada y que ha sobrevivido a las barbaries del siglo xx: el genocidio armenio, los horrores del nazismo y los delirios del maoísmo, sin perder el humor, el deseo de sexo y el afán de venganza: los tres pilares de la felicidad en su particular credo.

A los ciento cinco años aún regenta su famoso restaurante en Marsella, guarda una pistola en el bolso y no puede evitar los pensamientos eróticos cuando se cruza con algún tipo interesante. Esta singular cocinera, marcada por dos hombres y un siglo, se toma la justicia por su mano matando a sus enemigos suavemente. Rose pertenece ya a esa galería de grandes personajes literarios de los que no podemos separarnos.
