Produktbeschreibung
A delectable comedy about an imploding social media star, an Italian bakery, the treachery of fame, and the pink-frosted pastry at the heart of it all. YouTuber Sabine Rose is a star about to go supernova. Her baking channel attracts millions, her production team agonizingly crafts her every moment, and her agent has nearly landed her a television series. But Sabine's rise to superstardom needs a final push, and she has the perfect idea to get herself there: a well-documented visit home to her family's bakery. When Sabine and her chronically underappreciated producer, Wanda, arrive in Thunder Bay, the planned family reunion is quickly lost in chaos (and, as Wanda sees it, social media opportunity). Sabine's father, the Rose family master baker, has just died. And he's left behind a locked briefcase containing the secret pastry recipe that has made him a hometown legend. On the cusp of going viral, Sabine finds herself unlocking the dark truths of her father's past. Self-medicating one glass-and one handful of pharma-ceuticals-at a time, can she drag her fledgling celebrity into the big leagues before ever-loyal Wanda, sensing betrayal, turns the tables on her? Will the popular pastry and the family secrets it holds fall into the wrong hands? Or will it provide the salvation Sabine so badly needs? Piped full of heartache and told with razor wit, The Sugar Thief is a skewering of contemporary narcissism and an ode to families that leave (almost) everything behind in search of a brighter future.

Autorenporträt
NANCY MAURO is the author of the critically acclaimed debut New World Monkeys and most recently The Sugar Thief, a novel about a secret pastry recipe that upends the lives of an entire immigrant family.  Nancy grew up in Thunder Bay, Ontario, where her Italian-Canadian family owned the bakery that invented the wildly popular (and equally enigmatic) Persian pastry. She now lives in New York City with her husband, children and a rolling pin or two.
