2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
An anarchic tale of love and appetite, Eli Brown's Cinnamon and Gunpowder (Picador) is a wildly original feat of the imagination, deep and startling as the sea itself. The year is 1819, and the renowned chef Owen Wedgwood has been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Mad Hannah Mabbot. He will be spared, Mabbot tells him, as long as he can conjure an exquisite meal every Sunday from the ship's meager supplies. Cinnamon and Gunpowder is a gripping adventure, a seaborne romance, and a twist on the tale of Scheherazade — with the best food ever served aboard a pirate's ship.
