A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg is the most beautifully written memoir. She chronicles her life and the people in it with such gentle humor, openness, and candor. I quite literally cried, sighed, smiled, and laughed in the space of its 300 pages.
I was heartbroken when I reached the last chapter: I simply didn’t want it to end. But there are still the recipes to make—one at the end of each essay—and the blog (Orangette) to follow, so I guess it's really just the beginning...
Okay, that settles it. Off to Amazon tonight after the kiddies are asleep!!
ReplyDeleteI would buy this book just for the cover art alone! I read another review on this book where the reader cried, the author must tell a fantastic story.
ReplyDeleteI simply have to get it, that's all there is to it!
