It is 2007, in New York where Demetrio, 24, is a celebrated pastry chef at the French restaurant, Le Bourrelet. It will be his seventh year as their pâtissier and the chef-owner, stern, but paternal feels he should move on. When Demetrio is offered a position as Head of Pastries at a Michelin-starred restaurant, he wants nothing more than to accept it. Undocumented, he is missing one crucial thing: papers. Terrified he will be found out, he makes the difficult decision of voluntary departure to permanently return to his homeland which he has not seen since he was a small child.

Beautiful descriptions of both New York City and Spain that match the mood and the sense of belonging.

The way the author describes the places, situations and emotions in such cinematic way not only enveloped me in the story, but made it easy to discover the multiple layers and definitions of borders: the ones separating countries and the internal ones we impose on ourselves. I truly enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
