Sourdough by Robin Sloan
3.0
Quirky.
For the first third of the book I was very much in to it, from Lois' working environment at the tech company to her discovery of the special spicy soup and bread. But the pace slowed a bit once she was accepted to sell her bread at an experimental futuristic farmers market. It picked up again once she started to learn about the origins of her sour dough starter and meet with others who were familiar with it. The sour dough started alone was a fascinating living creature and the ending was unexpected.
I can't say I really enjoyed the book once it veered off in to the futuristic farmers market. I just couldn't really figure out where it was going. That said I'm sure there are many people who would find this book fascinating and it's certainly very readable.
