Now this was a pretty wonderful surprise -- over the Fourth of July weekend I happened to sit down at my laptop for a second and spot a tweet from Wellesley Books mentioning their Pick of the Week... which happened to be The Kitchen Daughter. Whoa, I thought. That's pretty cool.
And then I followed the link and found out where the pick appeared -- in the Boston Globe!
Pick of the Week
Lorna J. Ruby of Wellesley Books in Wellesley recommends The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry (Simon & Schuster): "I was fascinated by Ginny, the narrator, who has undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome. Her world revolves around her parents and cooking in the kitchen. After they die, she fights her younger sister's plan to sell their home and discovers a family secret. There is a little magical realism thrown in here as well: Ginny can conjure the spirits of the dead when she cooks a recipe written in their hand."
(Here's the full column, including news about the new Mark Twain stamp, winners of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards, and then little old me!)
