This charming story is a literal love letter to friendship and food. I adored everything about this story from the timing (early 1960’s) to the places (primarily Seattle and Washington) to the unique and likeable main characters. Imogen and Joan complement each other in the best possible ways without either one outshining or dominating the other. As an epistolary story, it reminds us of the magic of letter writing and how it allows time for thoughtfulness and sometimes the ability to share our innermost thoughts that we could never give voice to otherwise. If this doesn’t bring letter writing back, I don’t know what will! The exploration of food and culture is the perfect way to remind all of us that taking risks and trying new things can be some of the best ways to bring richness to our lives.
