Love & Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love by Kim Fay

3.5

As both a lover of food, and a letter writer who has made lifelong friends through pen palling (oftentimes discussing food), this gave me warm and fuzzy feelings. The one detraction is that I had to suspend my disbelief about the anachronistically progressive nature of the characters. The characters are based on real people, and there were undoubtedly people during the 60s who held their inclusive beliefs, but this also felt like a book about Good WW. It's as though this was written so that (WW) readers could imagine themselves being open-minded during the 60s, while still living  a fictionally idealized version of the time period.
