Love and Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love | 
pick5⭐️
I don‘t remember the last time I fell so quickly in love with a book. This had my heart after only a few chapters. I loved the characters and the variety of experiences and growth they depict in their letters. Watching them explore new recipes and flavors made my mouth water. Even though I saw many things coming, it didn‘t take away from my emotional connections with our lovely ladies.
pickOh I loved it! Just what I needed to feel good and remember female friendship.
I wish it had been longer :)

pickThis 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.
pickI 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!
