From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home by Tembi Locke

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

3.75

I was brought to this book having watched the wonderful Netflix adaptation, and although I found that Locke writes beautifully, the second half dragged too much as she talked about her summers in Sicily after her husband’s death. I was more interested in her relationship with her husband and their journey of cancer, which wasn’t such a focus of the book. Nevertheless, a good read, and a passionate account of love, loss, and good food!
