Our Place on the Island by Erika Montgomery
Like description of this story as winter is just starting here with the snow falling, nice time to read about summer places.
Starts out when Mickey is at her restaurant with her loving chef and she's notified that her grandmother is remarrying. She is up to her ears with bills and running the business and things are not going well.
She escapes to the island where we find her mother and grandmother. Story goes back in time over the years so you can understand why and how things happen in present day.
Love the cooking, tips about smelly fish and how to get rid of that before cooking *PRICELESS*, mention of her favorite author friends in acknowledgments, the island itself, island living and the cooking, redisgn of kitchen and how it all plays out at the end.
With so much turmoil it's any wonder the family moves on, sells house and calls it a day...
Descriptions of food, smells, atmosphere, sounds all come to the forefront for me as i am RIGHT there with them in the kitchen or walking on dewy grass at night...
Can't wait to read more from this author. So captivating.
Love multi generation of women and their effect on the island as they go through many stages over their lifetime. Beautiful ending, never saw it coming out like it did. Ends with acknowledgments and about the author.
Received this review copy from St. Martin's Press St. Martin's Griffin via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
