🍲 The Sunday Table

In this emotionally rich B1-level interactive storybook, 15-year-old Yasmine Bouchard travels from Lyon to Marseille to meet Grand-mere Fatima — the grandmother she has never known. Fatima and Yasmine's mother Leila have not spoken in ten years, since Fatima objected to Leila's marriage to a non-Algerian man. Over two weeks of cooking together, sharing stories, and building trust, Yasmine helps bridge the gap — arranging a Sunday lunch that brings mother and grandmother back to the same table. The story explores Algerian-French identity, the language of food, and the extraordinary courage required to forgive.
