Synopsis
Rosa is not cut out for motherhood, at least not of the functional kind. She is an outrageously nasty piece of work: overbearing, iron-willed and diabolical. Among the casualties is her daughter, Sulfia, who endures the worst of Rosa's machinations. When Sulfia brings into the world an exceptional child by the name of Aminat, the child seems at first destined to become yet another pawn in Rosa's game - until she finds the strength to rebel in the only way possible, by running away. Years later, Aminat reappears on a popular talent show, setting Rosa back on her trail...

Review
"What begins as a cruel comic romp ends as a surprisingly winning story of hardship and resilience." - The New Yorker
"Bronsky lands another hit with this hilarious, disturbing, and always irreverent blitz." - Publishers Weekly
"Bronsky's great gift is humor." - Los Angeles Times
"Rosa is at best delusional, at worst devious and despicable yet utterly compelling and at times highly comedic." - Read Matters
"A rich, funny and unspeakably delicious novel"- -- Bookslut
About the Author
Alina Bronsky's first novel, Broken Glass Park, was a finalist for one of Europe's most celebrated literary awards, the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize. It was hailed by Publishers Weekly as a "riveting debut," while the Boston Globe described it as "a vivid depiciton of contemporary adolescence under pressure." The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine, nominated for the prestigious German Book Prize, is her second novel. She lives in Germany.
Tim Mohr is a former Berlin club DJ whose previous translations include Broken Glass Park, Charlotte Roche's Guantanamo, for which he won the Three Percent Award for best translation of 2007. He collaborated with Duff McKagan on It's So Easy (and other lies), McKagan's forthcoming memoir.
