It talks about beef carrots

Abstract:
The action takes place in Paris at the foot of the Eiffel Tower to be exact, and covers a year. This book recounts the meeting then the friction, tenderness, friendship, rants, reconciliations and everything else yet, all that happens between four people living under one roof. Four people who had nothing in common at the start and that should never have to meet. A stuttering aristocrat, a young woman exhausted, a stubborn old grandma and a cook rude. All are full of blues, full of bumps and all have a heart as big as this one (not even bigger!) ... is the domino theory in reverse. These four rely on each other but instead of to fall, they fall. It's called love.

Preview: "... she would have her house to her. A real house with a copper basin for making jams and biscuits in a tin box not hidden at the bottom a buffet. A long farmhouse table, quite thick, and chintz curtains. (...) A pretty garden, chickens who give him good boiled eggs, cats for chasing mice and dogs to chase cats. A small square of aromatic plants, a fireplace, chairs smashed and books all around. The white tablecloths, napkin rings unearthed in antique shops, a music device to listen to the same opera that his dad and a coal stove it simmer carrots good horse all morning ...
