A fascinating book for foodies, with lots of interesting food references - the only downside is that it also goes into details about cancer. If you can stomach that or don't have health anxiety, it's worth giving it a go.
This story was drastically different than the aughor's first book. Really, I don't know how else Reay would have followed a book so unique as “Dear Mr. Knightley”...except with a book as unique as “Lizzy and Jane!”
The basic similarity between the two is the affirmation of the importance of family relationships–and the incredible love of literature. Yet this one is based also on the love of food, and what our food says about our lives and vice versa. Don't read this if you're hungry, because her descriptions are so incredibly tangible that you can almost taste/smell/see what is being described. Yet I also challenge you to manage to lay it aside for any great length of time!
Like the first book, I read it all in one evening. And thoroughly enjoyed it, even the sad parts!
For the tender of conscience: there is the drinking of wine, but no drunkenness.
