Meeting New People
Just an excellent book—I gobbled it. Genuinely perfect and unexpected writing about cooking and eating.
Helen of Nowhere
Sat down, read it in one sitting. So perceptive, strange, delicious, biting!
The Shipping News
When I first read this, I wasn’t prepared for how delighted I would be. I was profoundly moved by the humanity of this novel and the plights of these Newfoundlanders; I also laughed, A LOT. This is one to return to.
Happy all the Time
My favorite Laurie Colwin—a beloved, take-it-everywhere-for-the-rest-of-your-life kind of book. It’s a treasure box of wisdom—but what feels particularly striking is how it surfaces the (many) ways we build our domestic and aesthetic lives, the places we locate pleasure and beauty.
