This was a very enjoyable novel. I especially liked the recipes at the end of some of the chapters--it was such a unique and rich way to pull the story together. The author's strengths lie in her descriptions and character development. The stories were quite realistic, and I often found myself wondering if the locations and people in the story actually existed.
