The Instant National Bestseller and #1 Indie Next Pick"Fans of Love & Saffron will find lots to love in The Correspondent, including tearful scenes and laugh-out-loud moments...When you finish, you'll want to tell your friends about it." --NPR
For fans of The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, this witty and tender novel in letters follows two women in 1960s America as they develop a deep and lasting friendship, facing life's challenges with humor, bravery, and good food.
Two strangers. One recipe. A friendship for the ages.
Creamy risotto alla Milanese. Mussels in a hot, buttery broth. Chicken spiced with cinnamon and cloves. Joan Bergstrom and Imogen Fortier understand the key to a savored life--delicious food. Young Joan is just discovering herself as a foodwriter in bustling Los Angeles, while experienced columnist Imogen is settled in her decades-long marriage on Camano Island outside Seattle. When Joan sends a fan letter to Imogen with an enclosed packet of saffron and a recipe, their journey of culinary exploration and soul-deep friendship begins. A long-lost flavor surfaces buried memories, and a quest to make carne asada opens the doors of a sheltered life. Into this beautiful, intimate world comes the ultimate test of their friendship, and of their belief that food and love can sustain us during our darkest hours.
