2022 book 160

 Kim Fay's Love and Saffron

I wanted to read something on the lighter side after my last read (and after the excellent but mildly devastating Ducks by Kate Beaton), and this is a book about two ladies who develop a friendship writing letters about food in the 1960s! Super chill! I mean, it is /mostly/ super chill, but also really moving and did make me cry at the end. I will say for two white ladies in the early 60s talking about “exotic” cuisine, they are pretty culturally sensitive, I guess. This isn’t doing anything particularly groundbreaking but it was a pleasant read. A-/B+.
