After losing the love of his life, Edward's daughter worried about her elderly father's frame of mind, so she introduced him to her good friend (the author) and thus started a series of dinners and a friendship that improved both of their lives. Isabel was in the midst of a disintegrating marriage and a stressful job that left her feeling trapped and adrift. Her dinners with ninety-something year old Edward helped her de-stress and figure out how to fix her life. Written with menus atop each chapter, this book focuses on food and friendship and is a snapshot into a short period of the author's life when she desperately needed the friendship that Edward supplied. This is a short book that I found inspiring and moving. Plus, the descriptions of food were incredible and often left me feeling very hungry. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
