Butter by Asako Yuziki |
Butter. What’s not to like? Spread on crisp toast or added to jersey potatoes. Sublime! Butter - Waterstones book of the year - is about ambition, misogyny, food, murder, love and even at times hygiene. For me though the message arrives at the close of the book, in that food is best celebrated when cooking for those you love. But that may be more about me than the author. An intriguing novel and perhaps that is enough. It has stayed with me. But it wasn’t sublime.
