The Chef, the Bird and the Blessing by Andrew Sharp

The Chef, the Bird and the Blessing by Andrew Sharp

Compelling to the last page, The Chef, the Bird and the Blessing is a story about the power of suppressed memory, of friendship, and of our relationship with the natural world. Set within vivid images of a backwater in an unnamed African country, the novel is both poignant and funny. Mozzy is a cook in a struggling safari business and dreams of escaping the perilous wilderness and his despised employer to become head chef in an upmarket restaurant in London. Spurred on by his wife, a member of a visionary religious sect, his fantasy becomes reality. But will his sanity and marriage survive in this new world? Can a small bird help him find his way? Mozzy’s path takes him from Africa to London and back, but it is the painful journey of the heart that ultimately fulfils Mozzy’s destiny.

Andrew Sharp’s first novel won the Waverton Good Read Award and was shortlisted for the Rubery Book Award. The Chef, the Bird and the Blessing is his third novel set in sub-Saharan Africa where he spent his childhood. His earlier works include The Ghosts of Eden and Fortunate.
