11-year-old Mary simply loves cooking: she wants to become a great chef. She entertains a special relationship with her grandma, Emer, who encourages her to chase her dream. Thus, Mary begins a journey across the barriers of time, during which four generations of women will be able to know each other deeply. An enthralling story set in Ireland, inspired by Roddy Doyle’s novel A Greyhound of a Girl.
