Such a lovely epistolary novel about food & friendship. Joan Bergstrom, then 27, in LA, in response to a column Mrs. Imogen Fortier, 59,on an island off of Seattle wrote,sends some saffron to her. an exchange of letters begins.Reading these letters is both heartwarming & bittersweet. It‘s wonderful to be part of the growth of their friendship over time.They share their authentic selves, discussing food, life, relationships, love & death.

Just starting this today.

This quick, one-sitting read was a sweet story of friendship carried out mostly through letters. In the 1960s, Imogen writes a column in Northwest Home & Life magazine. Joan writes Imogen a letter to let her know how much she enjoyed her recent column about digging for clams. Despite their age difference, they strike up a friendship based on their love for food, which turns into a much-needed source of support and encouragement for both of them.

I got impatient waiting for my library hold to come in on this one - so decided to use one of my Christmas gift cards. Lazy afternoon off reading and having a late lunch of yummy sushi. 🍣 #lunchbook

Sweet little novel about a friendship that takes place through letters and center around food.

I got lucky that my #BookSpin for December was this short epistolary novel. It can be read in one sitting. I think the subtitle captures what it is — two women become friends and bond over food after the younger one writes the other a fan letter. I enjoyed it!
