HTML:A 2020 Audie Award Finalist One of AudioFile's Best Audiobooks of 2019! Now a limited Netflix series starring Zoe Saldana! This Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller is "a captivating story of love lost and found" (Kirkus Reviews) set in the lush Sicilian countryside, where one woman discovers the healing powers of food, family, and unexpected grace in her darkest hours. It was love at first sight when actress Tembi met professional chef, Saro, on a street in Florence. There was just one problem: Saro's traditional Sicilian family did not approve of his marrying a black American woman. However, the couple, heartbroken but undeterred, forged on. They built a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep friendships, and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopted at birth. Eventually, they reconciled with Saro's family just as he faced a formidable cancer that would consume all their dreams. From Scratch chronicles three summers Tembi spends in Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro's family, now she finds solace and nourishmentâ??literally and spirituallyâ??at her mother-in-law's table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple fresh food, the embrace of a close knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that light a path forward. All along the way she reflects on her and Saro's romanceâ??an incredible love story that leaps off the pages. In Sicily, it is said that every story begins with a marriage or a deathâ??in Tembi Locke's case, it is both. "Locke's raw and heartfelt memoir will uplift readers suffering from the loss of their own loved ones" (Publishers Weekly), but her story is also about love, finding a home, and chasing flavor as an act of remembrance. From Scratch is for anyone who has dared to reach for big love, fought for what mattered most, and those who needed a powerful reminder that life is. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I would recommend this title, you won’t cry, it’s not sad in that way, but you will be filled with numerous emotions as you travel through this woman’s and her child’s life after loss, the fact that it centers around food and Sicily is an added a bonus.
I appreciate most the raw emotion Ms. Locke expresses about being a wife, a mother, a daughter, an unaccepted daughter-in-law. She is honest and forthright - no one gets a pass, but she is not degrading. The fact that the story comes together and is not fiction, is the perfect ending. (
