Love & Saffron by Kim Fay
I Just Love “Love & Saffron” I LOVED , LOVED, LOVED this book about two women corresponding in the 1960s! They begin by sharing their interest in food and then develop a true friendship. One lives in L.A., the other in the Seattle area. Every page either made me smile or pulled on my heartstrings. The book is like a time capsule, because the women discuss the many historical events that happen during their lives: Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK’s assassination, McCarthyism, feminism, Lawrence Welk, etc. Besides the food and historical aspects, many personal connections in this book made it special for me. Including the fact that it’s about a wonderful correspondence which reminds me of my oldest friend in Germany and my recent correspondence with my second cousin in Australia. I’ve also been to some of the locations like the Seattle Space Needle, Pike Place Market and Los Angeles. This is such a SPECIAL, gentle gem of a book that I pre-ordered eight copies as gifts. Here'
