This is a beautifully written book. The problem for me was the pacing. Three individually interesting stories eventually intertwine to reveal connections between the characters. However, these connections come a bit late. I would have preferred a longer book in which all three stories are more fleshed out, or for the stories to come together sooner. As it was, the ending felt somewhat abrupt.

Otherwise this is a pleasant read, and is sure to appeal to fans of food-related stories.

I loved this book. It just made me feel good as I was reading. I loved the people, the setting's, the era's and gradual progression of time. It was a happy & sad read, both being balanced out by the other. It was about dreams accomplished, friendships, love, honesty & faith in oneself. I found this a beautiful read.
