Who knew the search for a once-desired delicacy could expand into such a life-altering odyssey of self-discovery? I'd say metaphorically Paterniti's story is more akin to an onion--so many layers--but I devoured it more like a delicious cheese. Full of the big questions about life and agency and meaning, it's a book that holds your heart and your stomach hostage.
