Love and Saffron: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781638084181)

When twenty-seven-year-old Joan Bergstrom sends a fan letter -- as well as a gift of saffron -- to fifty-nine-year-old Imogen Fortier, a life-changing friendship begins. Joan lives in Los Angeles and is just starting out as a writer for the newspaper food pages. Imogen lives on Camano Island outside Seattle, writing a monthly column for a Pacific Northwest magazine, and while she can hunt elk and dig for clams, she's never tasted fresh garlic -- exotic fare in the Northwest of the sixties. As the two women commune through their letters, they build a closeness that sustains them through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassination of President Kennedy, and the unexpected in their own lives.
