Publisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the National Book Award–winning author of Three Junes comes the story of Greenie Duquette, who lavishes most of her passionate energy on her Greenwich Village bakery and her young son—until she makes an impulsive decision that will change the course of several lives around her.
Greenie's husband, Alan, seems to have fallen into a midlife depression, while Walter, her closest professional ally, is nursing a broken heart. At Walter’s restaurant, the visiting governor of New Mexico tastes Greenie’s coconut cake and decides to woo her away to be his chef. For reasons both ambitious and desperate, she accepts—heading west without her husband.

A Gorgeous Quilt of a Story
Wonderful, smart and imperfect characters populate this beautiful slice of time. Thank you, Julia Glass. What a gift you have for storytelling.
Don’t bother
Nothing to like here.
Kept waiting for it to get better. It got better when I came to the end.
