4-Star review written by blogger, Jennie Rosenblum, in its entirety:
This book took me a little time to get pulled into the story. I think it was because of the unique writing style. Instead of the recent adaptation of least amount of words to convey a thought – this author expands and enriches each sentence with adorning words to decorate the thought. However, once I just let my mind go and enjoy the wording and phrases I was pulled in and pleased with the story.
This book is told from alternating first person perspectives. We have Augusta, living in the town of her mother, raised by her Aunt and Uncle and now working for the Bookbinding factory. And Lindsay, a visitor with a purpose of researching the history of the factory and with a bit of baggage back home.
The consistent presence of Quiche runs throughout the book and I believe accentuates the story parts. Just like all fine quiches have base ingredients that remain stable but other ingredients that change the entire taste of each quiche, the story has the base of families but the variety of each and their dealings makes each one different.
My advice would be to savor this book slowly to enjoy all the flavors.
