Our book club all really enjoyed this book. The highlight of our discussion was the call-in interview with the author, Eileen Goudge. She was charming and so easy to talk to. She welcomed all of our questions, and we had quite a few, and seemed very willing to let us see into the whole process that goes along with writing a novel, from the extensive research, drawing on personal knowledge and relationships and the nonstop writing when the ideas are flowing. Each of us in the club had different questions about the characters, the paths that they went down and the relationships that they formed. It was a delightful evening and after the interview we settled in with some of the wonderful desserts from Eileen's cookbook, which she was kind enough to send me a copy of. While we were enjoying her Kaluha brownies and Orange Glaze cake, we passed the cookbook around and talked about some of her recipes. This is surely a meeting that we will all remember and we look forward to her two new books coming out next year.
