The meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 4th at 6:00 pm at the Harbor History Museum. The book for our February meeting is Love and Saffron by Kim Fay.

--------------------------------------------------------- 

Two strangers. One recipe. A friendship for the ages.
 
Creamy risotto alla Milanese. Mussels in a hot, buttery broth. Chicken spiced with cinnamon and cloves. Joan Bergstrom and Imogen Fortier understand the key to a savored life—delicious food. Young Joan is just discovering herself as a foodwriter in bustling Los Angeles, while experienced columnist Imogen is settled in her decades-long marriage on Camano Island outside Seattle. When Joan sends a fan letter to Imogen with an enclosed packet of saffron and a recipe, their journey of culinary exploration and soul-deep friendship begins. A long-lost flavor surfaces buried memories, and a quest to make carne asada opens the doors of a sheltered life. Into this beautiful, intimate world comes the ultimate test of their friendship, and of their belief that food and love can sustain us during our darkest hours.

 The book is available from the Gig Harbor branch of Pierce County Public Library. You can get a copy in one of several ways:

1. Call and identify yourself as a Gig Harbor Literary Society member and the staff will put a copy aside for you.

2. Request through the library website.

3. Request an electronic version through the Libby app on your device. (If you don't know how to do this, the library staff may be able to help.)

We look forward to hearing your thoughts. As always, even if you don't have a chance to read or listen to the book, join us.
