Gone Bamboo
Gone Bamboo | Anthony Bourdain
4 posts | 6 read | 11 to read
Gone Bamboo pits Henry, a CIA-trained assassin, and Frances, his hard-nosed, hard-bodied wife against two governments and a cross-dressing mafioso. Henry and Frances have gone bamboo-living an idyllic, retired life in the Caribbean-but when Donnie, a powerful capo relocated by the Federal Witness Protection Program, inadvertently jeopardizes their plan, all hell breaks loose. Despite the fact that Henry once tried to kill Donnie, the two join forces against the transvestite mob boss looking to ace Donnie. But things aren't going to be so easy. . . . Written in Anthony Bourdain's signature style-raucous, funny, a bit vicious, and always fun-Gone Bamboo is a feast of murder, hitmen, and the hitwomen they love. Reminiscent of Dashiell Hammet's Nick and Nora, Bourdain's Henry and Frances are a tough-talking, unlikely couple that will win you over-if they don't kill you first.

Im reading all the Bourdain books i can. This one was about the mob. I enjoyed it. He incorporated cooking verbiage throughout and the end shooting scene was bloody and glorious Bourdain style. Sort of happy ending. I give it 3 and a half stars.

Forgive me Litsy, for I have sinned. I should have posted more. This book sucked me in in a way that made me forget the outside world existed. I want nothing more than to flee to Saint Martin and live there forever.

#TBRtemptation post 6! I like this cover. From the legendary travel tv personality. Henry and his wife, Frances, live an idyllic life as two of the Caribbean's most charming ex-pats (and professional assassins). When Donnie, a powerful capo, relocates to their island, Elmore Leonard-style low-living and high-comedy ensues. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
