"On top of everything" by Sarah-Kate Lynch
Okay, so not EVERY ticket I have to the Auckland Writers Readers Festival is for random authors who's titles I've never read. Sarah-Kate Lynch is on the bill with Nicky Pellegrino. They're going to be speaking about "Love, Food, Wine and Travel".
Ms Lynch is one of my favourite authors. I love the stories and characters that she breathes life into. I also like the fact that food that plays an important role in all her books. Her latest title "On top of everything" is about a woman coping with the horrible things that are happening in her life. It's also about tea, truffles and the importance of shared food experiences. Her previous books have covered cheese, champagne, bread, pasta and love, always love.
Ms Pellegrino is a new author to me. I read her book "The Gypsy Tearoom" a couple of weeks ago. I think I'll be waiting for her latest "The Italian wedding" for a while as there are a bunch of reserves on it. Bookman Beattie enjoyed it which is a good sign. He says "I enjoyed The Italian Wedding very much although have to say that even though it is just a four pages short of 300 pages in length, about the average size novel, I wished it had been longer." High praise indeed.
