For some reason I had hoped for more intrigue or mystery this in this novel. I did enjoy the recipes that were shared and the travel to Provence and Tuscany, but I was ready to toss the book after 1/3 of the way through. Too much day to day, hour by hour of Juliette's life was boring me to tears. I skimmed the book until the last hundred pages. The letters found in her grandmother's trunk were interesting and depicted the trials of the Jews during the 1940's. The last few chapters were the redeeming grace for this book. Even though I watch cooking shows and love to cook, it bogged down with all the French words cooking terms.
This book was given to me for my honest appraisal from Blogging for Books and Waterbrook Press.
