Book Review of The Love Season

The Love Season
mtb avatar reviewed on + 30 more book reviews


Love Season is beautifully written; each of her books is more well-crafted than the next, somewhat like the creation of Marguerite's cooking. I find myself going back to this book, this time to get all the recipes, how Marguerite cooks this one fabulous meal... nothing is really written in measuring-amounts, but the whole process from scratch. (When I first read it I went quickly, this time I'm taking notes, not just for the food, but restaurants, stores, etc., in case we should ever go back to Nantucket!) Hilderbrand writes in the 2 very different rhythms of her 2 main characters, the young woman Renata & Marguerite, her "forbidden" godmother she is finally coming to meet: the pace they move at, the "music" in their head. the difference beteen the older woman who has been through love, loss, and a girl just finding it.
