Book Description

Publication Date: July 4, 2005

Connie Farrell, a New York restaurant critic, is sitting in a first class seat on her way to Venice for the second honeymoon of a lifetime. There's only one problem - Tom, her high school sweetheart and husband of ten years, is not sitting next to her. The seat is empty. But Connie does not immediately lose her appetite for pleasure. Arriving in Venice she meets Marco, a handsome gondolier who sates her with every kind of mouth-watering delicacy...But all is not quite as it seems, and back in New York Connie is dealt the cruellest blow imaginable. Suddenly, there's nothing on the menu but heartache and sorrow, and no amount of delectable cooking will make up for the desperate situation which she faces. A novel about food, about second chances, about parents and children, about New York and Venice, and about love, more delicious than any four star meal...

Her first novel, Blessed Are the Cheesemakers, is published by Black Swan.

This review is from: Eating With The Angels (Paperback)

This was yet another fantastic book by Sarah-Kate Lynch. A delicious story about finding your soulmate. The characters were real (for the most part) and you cared about all of them. All references to food in this book, like all others by Ms. Lynch, make your mouth water. If you love the Ruth Reichl memoirs, you will LOVE this book.

One of the few books that AS I READ IT, I can envision it as a movie. It is SUCH a shame that her books are so hard to fine in the US but it is worth finding ALL of them.
