        I enjoyed this book – some beautiful writing. I loved the passion around meal preparation, ingredients, pairings –  I feel the author captured that. Chapters just end and the next chapter may or may not relate. And the end of the book felt the same. But I plan to read more from the author.

          I loved the structure of this book. It reminded me of Maeve Binchy in the way we learned about the main character through the eyes of the people who came into contact with her, either briefly or long-term.  I agree that the writing is really beautiful. I have another of his on my nook. I look forward to reading it!

            I really enjoyed this too. I previously read the Lager Queen of Minnesota by the same author. I like his style, it’s little different and that’s not a bad thing.
