À propos de cet audio

 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. Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction féminine Littérature et fiction Comédie Drôle Sincère

Ce que les critiques en disent

PRAISE FOR THE SUGAR THIEF:
"The Sugar Thief is as deliciously tart and layered as the legendary pastry at the centre of the story. I devoured it with gusto."
—Sarah Knight, bestselling author of Calm the F*ck Down

“The Sugar Thief is an ingeniously plotted story about immigrant families and YouTube stars that is stuffed with knockout sentences. Nancy Mauro offers the literary equivalent of a show-stopping pastry with her surprising and satisfying novel.”
—Kevin Chong, author of The Double Life of Benson Yu

“The Sugar Thief is no mere confection: written with comic brio, Nancy Mauro’s heartfelt novel is also a trenchant examination of our algorithm-chasing mass culture and the knotty allegiances and legacies of family and home.”
–Teddy Wayne, Whiting Award-winning author of The Love Song of Jonny Valentine


PRAISE FOR NANCY MAURO:
“Nancy Mauro is a writer of rare and refined talent. . . .With her flawless prose she opens bare the hearts of her characters, their vain desires and everyday tragedies.”
—Anthony Swofford, New York Times bestselling author of Jarhead and Exit A

it's a great novel! That somewhat hit close to home, for me. The narators are fantastic. it's better then watching a show/movie. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Have fun! Isabelle

Amazing stories, but all in one! 🙃

Through the metaphor of a delectable pastry, The Sugar Thief, weaves a tale of skulduggery involving inter-generational family strife, social media influencers and a top secret recipe for the iconic treat known mysteriously as the Persian. Set in Nancy Mauro's Canadian hometown located on the magnificent northern shore of Lake Superior, an imaginative and unique plot unfolds that will captivate any reader. All the more so if you hail from Thunder Bay and grew up eating Persians. (The uninitiated reader will surely want to place the consumption of a Persian on their bucket list by the time they finish devouring this satisfying fictionalized story of the enigmatic bun).

Hopefully, the release of The Sugar Thief may well call attention to Mauro's earlier novel, New World Monkeys.

Narration is Bland and boring and is run on. Ruins the book. If the story was good I couldn’t tell.
