A nuanced, deeply moving story…vigorous, subtly political work
The Times
Mahfouz’s poetic script fizzes with energy
Independent
An extremely tasty 50 minutes full of unexpected flavours and depths . . . Lyrical yet bruising writing . . .Cleverly structured . . . The order and cleanliness of the kitchen becomes a metaphor for an escape from the chaotic life of her childhood. But even in the pristine kitchen unexpected dangers lurk, and violence erupts in the sharp blade of a carving knife and trickle of blood on the chopping board. Small but nicely formed, and very piquant.
