How to Make a Mess

Anna is a work-obsessed Londoner whose estranged mother has just died. Rather than sit shiva with her family, she shuts herself away with Nigella Lawson's cookbook How to Eat, and somehow summons an imagined Nigella to guide her. Recipe by recipe, and through the stories each dish holds, Anna is drawn back into memories of her family and into the grief and loneliness she has been outrunning.
