Lies. Secrets. Expectations. Society. Deception. Power. Recipes.
I couldn’t put it down. I don’t know if I was more drawn to Nellie’s story from 1955 or Alice’s from 2018. Both women lived in the same house decades apart; one constrained by the social norms of her era, the other dealing with who she is without a career label. Their husbands couldn’t be more different, yet each a product of their time, as well. Balance. Tipping the scales of power. Infidelity. Death. Hope. Promise of a brighter future.
Not necessarily a “happily-ever-after-ending,” but an ending that brings closure. Suspenseful.
