Numerous reviewers have criticized the length of this book, sometimes calling it a long magazine article. I didn't care. I love Ruth Reichl and everything about her, I love her beautiful writing and the sound of her voice. I loved reading her food reviews in the New York Times and have devoured every one of her previous books. The audio CD was a real treat as it was read by the author herself, and I thoroughly enjoyed Ruth's rediscovery of her mother through the notes and letters her mother left behind.
