At the once-splendid Imperial Hotel, chef Gabriel Lightfoot is
trying to run a tight kitchen. But his integrity and his sanity are
under constant challenge from an exuberantly multinational staff, a
gimlet-eyed hotel management, and business partners with whom he is
planning a new venture. Despite the pressure, his hard work looks
set to pay off. Until the discovery of a porter's dead body in the
kitchen appears to tip the scales. It is a small death, a lonely
death - but it is enough to disturb the tenuous balance of Gabe's
life. In The Kitchen is Monica Ali's stunning follow up to Brick
Lane. It is both the portrait of a man pushed to the edge, and a
wry and telling look into the melting pot which is our contemporary
existence. It confirms Monica Ali not only as a great modern
storyteller but also an acute observer of the dramas of modern
life.
