A Sudden Country: A Novel
by Karen Fisher
Andrea's Comments:
"This is the kind of book that you hate to finish. You find excuses to stop reading, even though you can't bear not to know what happens next.... It put me in mind of Molly Gloss's The Jump-Off Creek, and Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, though it is totally its own creation, its own voice, its own story. I hope lots of people buy this book!!" ( read more)

"Gorgeous and lush, this book combines thoughtful travel-writing with mouth-watering recipes....Farmer's Vegetable Soup (Zuppa del Contadino) which we ate with lovely seven grain bread (store-bought; I cheated) and white wine, followed by Campiglia Shortbread (Schiaccia Campigliese)....Over our shortbread, we read aloud from Elon's stories of perfect restaurants and markets in Tuscan hill towns.
