Sweetbitter: A Novel

Sweetbitter: A Novel

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERÂ *Â A thrilling novel of the senses and a coming-of-age tale, following a small-town girl into the electrifying world of New York City and the education of a lifetime at one of the most exclusive restaurants in Manhattan.Â Perfect for readers of Kitchen Confidential and Blood, Bones and Butter.Â

Twenty-two, and knowing no one, Tess leaves home to begin her adult life in New York City. Thus begins a year that is both enchanting and punishing, in a low-level job at â€œthe best restaurant in New York City.â€ Grueling hours and a steep culinary learning curve awaken her to the beauty of oysters, the finest Champagnes, the appellations of Burgundy. At the same time, she opens herself to friendshipsâ€”and loveâ€”set against the backdrop of dive bars and late nights.Â As her appetites sharpenâ€”for food and wine, but also for knowledge, experience, and belongingâ€”Tess is drawn into aÂ darkly alluring love triangle that will prove to be her most exhilarating and painful lesson of all.Â
Â
Stephanie Danler deftly conjures the nonstop and purely adrenalized world of the restaurantâ€”conversations interrupted, phrases overheard, and suggestions below the surface. Evoking the infinite possibility of being young in New York with heart-stopping accuracy, Sweetbitter is ultimately about the power of what remains after disillusionment, and the wisdom that comes from experience, sweet and bitter.
