Located in Harvard Square, Upstairs at the Pudding was a confection of pink linen tablecloths and twinkling chandeliers, a decadent backdrop for childhood. Over dinners of foie gras and Dover sole, always served with a Shirley Temple, Charlotte kept company with a rotating cast of eccentric staff members. Her one constant was her glamorous, indomitable mother, nicknamed \"Patton in Pumps,\" a wasp-waisted woman in cocktail dress and stilettos who shouldered the burden of raising a family and running a kitchen. But when the restaurant--forever teetering on the brink of financial collapse--looks as if it may finally be closing, Charlotte comes to realize the sacrifices her mother has made to keep the family and restaurant afloat and gains a new appreciation of the world her mother has built.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411661283479,"sku":"9781594486500","price":2117.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781594486500.webp?v=1767444168","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/charlotte-au-chocolat-memories-of-a-restaurant-girlhood-9781594486500","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
