In late 2009 Isabel Vincent and her family were still newcomers to New York City. She and her husband, both Canadians, met as war reporters in Yugoslavia and lived all over before giving the Big Apple a try. As her marriage faltered, Isabel was trying to get used to life as a New York Post reporter and do her best for her daughter. In the meantime, friend Valerie asked an unusual favor: Would she look in on Valerie's father, Edward? In his nineties, he'd recently been widowed and Valerie was worried about her Dad losing the will to live. If he could have a guest to cook for and entertain, it might give him a new sense of purpose. As it turned out, it became a transformative friendship for the author as much as for Edward. A wonderful relationship between an man whose wife of sixty two years has died and the author, asked to look in on him by his two daughters. Edward is an amazing man, a man who wholeheartedly loved his wife, loves to cook and entertain, Isabel is in a troubled marriage, a journalist who is working in New York. The menus are wonderful, the descriptions of the food make one hungry. So from dinners and conversation a special friendship is formed. A glorious and sentimental story of how two people a generation apart help each other through troubled times.
