Another book plucked from the TBR pile. I loved the descriptions of the farm and animals and wondered very much how the book would end. I was satisfied. “We all should have acknowledged, perhaps even spoken of, love and want and doubt and fear.” Good ...more |

| Love love love this unique book. This book is the Eat, Pray, Love book for the middle-aged and it is like Under the Tuscan Sun for foreign home renovators and it is the Kitchen Confidential book of recipes. All rolled up into an impossible romance. | |
