The Divine Proverb of Streusel

There are so few novels that I find fun to read, educational or at least interesting enough to warrant reading hundreds of pages but this is surely it. It even made me curious to experiment with German cuisine which I never found appealing before. There is a wonderful mix of recipes, quotes, things to think about and a few Bible verses in there to make someone think about one's spiritual life but not too much that all there is in the book is that. There are a few things one can underline in it too. It was refreshing to read a novel where romance takes a back seat somehow and yet, it is there in the background. No kisses at least none that I can remember or anything like that so even those of us who don't read romantic novels, can enjoy the book. I hope the author will write more novels in a similar fashion.
