Authors Share Book-Inspired Fare

Thanks to author Teddy Wayne , who shared a book club menu for our readers.

Teddy Wayne's thriller The Au Pair explores the explosive impact of a Norwegian au pair on a celebrated novelist and his wife.


From Teddy Wayne: "Early on in The Au Pair the titular au pair serves the protagonist’s children fruit soup—fruktsuppe, in her native Norwegian—for dessert. To their father’s astonishment, they lap it up despite being inveterate ice cream-and-cookies eaters. It’s one of many moments he questions the wisdom of raising his kids in America."
