Miranda’s Kitchen by Shane Norwood.

Think a novel can´t be lyrical, creepy, funny, heartwarming, thought provoking, whimsical, scary, suspenseful, sexy, and tragic, all at the same time. Think again. Miranda´s Kitchen is a modern day Greek Tragedy, set in the Caribbean. It concerns Ulysses ‘Ship’ Kilgallen, and his search for the illusive intangible that is missing from his life, and what happens when he finds it. Be careful what you wish for, as they say. Miranda´s kitchen will break your heart. And if it doesn´t, you shouldn´t be allowed to have a heart!
