The Seasoning by Manon Steffan Ros

5.0

I can't tell you how delightful this novel is! I was enchanted from the first chapter. The story starts exactly as the preview describes, with Peggy's son Jonathan handing her a blank book and asks her to write her story. The next chapter starts with a recipe and is from a different person's point of view. Every subsequent chapter is the same, all different recipes (the food which somehow makes an appearance in the chapter) and all different people's points of view. The chapters work in chronological order and the readers get to know their leading lady, Peggy, from the perspectives of those her life has come in contact with. Great, thought out structure. Wonderfully imperfect characters. I loved it!
