Marion Keyes meets Nigella Lawson in this charming debut novel about a twenty-something foodie who secretly runs a supper club out of her landlord's town house.


Hannah Sugarman is a modern day every girl who seems to have it all. She works for an influential think tank in Washington, lives in a great apartment with her high-achieving boyfriend, and is poised for an academic career just like her famous parents. The only problem is that Hannah doesn’t want any of it. What she wants is much simpler: to cook.
When her relationship collapses, Hannah seizes the chance to start fresh and that means starting an underground supper club out of her new landlord’s townhouse. Though wildly successful, her underground operation presents some problems. First, running an unlicensed restaurant out of someone’s home is not, technically speaking, legal. And she might have forgotten to mention it to her landlord—who just happens to be running for local office...
On top of all this, Hannah is faced with various romantic prospects, all of which leave her confused, parents who don’t think cooking is a career, as well as her own fears and doubts that threaten her dreams.
A charming romantic comedy, The Secret Supper Club is a story about finding yourself, fulfilling your dreams, and falling in love along the way.
