Format: Hardcover, 208 Pages
Genre: Epistolary Fiction
First Sentence: October 1, 1962, Los Angeles, CA, Dear Mrs. Fortier, I hope this letter finds you well.
Blurb: This witty and tender novel follows two women in 1960s America as they discover that food really does connect us all, and that friendship and laughter are the best medicine. (GoodReads)
My Opinion: This book must be read in one sitting.
Love & Saffron is a sweet story encompassing all the best parts of friendship and food. What starts light with smiles and giggles follows the path of a warm friendship with shared recipes, secrets, and heartfelt advice and ends with a tear or two.
There is a deep feeling of humanity and non-judgment between these two women and the bond they share. Even though the world of the 1960s is ripe with bias and preconception, Imogen (59) and Joan (27) forge a friendship through letters in a way that many of us can learn from.
It may be a short book, but Kim Fay packs a big story (resilience, discovery, heartbreak, small moments, world change, wisdom, hope, and comfort) that you won’t soon forget.
