So, instead of doing the sane thing and just celebrating the holidays together in America, she does the stupid thing. Molly isn’t that bothered by Christmas, but-in yet another way they’re total opposites-Andrew is a full-on fanatic for the festive season and she knows how much getting back to Ireland means to him. In spite of all the ways the two friends are different, it’s the holiday tradition neither of them has ever wanted to give up. But once a year, for the last ten years, Molly has spent seven hours and fifteen minutes sitting next to Andrew on the last flight before Christmas from Chicago to Dublin, drinking terrible airplane wine and catching up on each other’s lives. Nothing romantic has ever happened between them: they’re friends and that’s all. ![]() Molly and Andrew are just trying to get home to Ireland for the holidays, when a freak snowstorm grounds their flight. She’s meant to be catching flights, not catching feelings… ![]()

![]() To read “Blood, Bones & Butter” is to marvel at Hamilton’s masterful facility with language. But as he admits in his jacket testimonial, she’s the superior writer by a mile. Hamilton, chef-owner of the tiny Greenwich Village restaurant Prune, shares two of Bourdain’s traits: a wicked, sometimes obscene sense of humor and a past checkered with drug use and crime. ![]() ![]() That quote, by the way, is from the previous title holder, Anthony Bourdain, whose 2000 blockbuster, “ Kitchen Confidential,” hilariously deglamorized restaurants while simultaneously feeding the fire of public obsession with celebrity chefs. Sure enough, Hamilton quickly proves that her decade-in-the-making work can live up to the extraordinary “best memoir by a chef ever” hype. Along with the title, it’s the first clue that Hamilton’s story will be visceral and possibly even revelatory. Turning the cover upside down reveals the unmistakable head - severed, one assumes - of a glaring, sharp-beaked rooster. Then you realize that the pearl is an eye and those frills are feathers. Is this the futuristic creation of some modernist chef? A strange image graces the cover of Gabrielle Hamilton’s luminous new memoir, “ Blood, Bones & Butter.” At first glance it might be an oyster, slipping off its half shell and nestled in some kind of grassy nest, with a pearl at its center and frills underneath. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Along with Iain M Banks, Reynolds is perhaps the most successful British Space Opera author of his generation' - Encyclopedia of Science Fiction ![]() 'Reynolds's vision of a future dominated by artificial intelligence trembles with the ultimate cold of the dark between the stars' - Publishers Weekly all of which keeps you coming back for more gripping excitement' - Kirkus ![]() 'The stories in the Revelation Space universe are packed with mind-expanding ideas.
