LOVE & SAFFRON - KIM FAY GEBUNDEN

In the vein of the classic 84  Charing Cross Road and Meet Me at the Museum  this witty and
tender novel follows two women in 1960s America as they discover that food really does connect
us all  and that friendship and laughter are the best medicine. When twenty-seven-year-old Joan
Bergstrom sends a fan letter--as well as a gift of saffron--to fifty-nine-year-old Imogen
Fortier  a life-changing friendship begins. Joan lives in Los Angeles and is just starting out
as a writer for the newspaper food pages. Imogen lives on Camano Island outside Seattle 
writing a monthly column for a Pacific Northwest magazine  and while she can hunt elk and dig
for clams  she's never tasted fresh garlic--exotic fare in the Northwest of the sixties. As the
two women commune through their letters  they build a closeness that sustains them through the
Cuban Missile Crisis  the assassination of President Kennedy  and the unexpected in their own
lives. Food and a good life-they can't be separated. It is a discovery the women share  not
only with each other  but with the men in their lives. Because of her correspondence with Joan
Imogen's decades-long marriage blossoms into something new and exciting  and in turn  Joan
learns that true love does not always come in the form we expect it to. Into this beautiful 
intimate world comes the ultimate test of Joan and Imogen's friendship-a test that summons
their unconditional trust in each other. A brief respite from our chaotic world  Love & Saffron
is a gem of a novel  a reminder that food and friendship are the antidote to most any heartache
and that human connection will always be worth creating.
