Contemporary Women's Fiction: The Memory of Lemon by Judith Fertig, published June 14, 2016 by BerkleyNeely
Lydia, the twenty-something bride-to-be sat stony faced on the settee in my front parlor.
This was not the way I wanted to start the week. Since I had opened my bakery in Millcreek Valley's bridal district in January, I had learned a lot about wooing, in the business sense. When I did wedding cake tastings, I took potential clients away from the cheerful light and beveled glass cases of Rainbow Cake and drew them quietly, seductively into the more intimate setting of my home right next door.

I wonder what is upsetting Lydia. That's not a usual expression for a bride-to-be!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds a fun read. I would love to see what kind of cake Neely would make for me . . .
This sounds like a good pool-side read. Not my usual genre, but the bakery angle could pull me in.
ReplyDeleteMight be a fun beach read... hope you like it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I want to know more, especially what is going on with Lydia. Stony faced is not usually the look of a bride.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and here's mine: “FLIGHT PATTERNS”
