Garden Spells

While on my cruise this past week, I decided to visit their library to get a book. As much as possible, I do not read or watch anything with murder as its entertainment theme. Unfortunately, given this personal mandate, my choices (in the realm of fiction) were severely limited. After 30 minutes of reading every title, the last book on the bottom of the third shelf was called Garden Spells. I skimmed the synopsis on the back and was glad to see that I found my book. After reading the book I was not disappointed, it was like it was written with me in mind. One of the main characters had a catering service that was quite popular despite the fact she was considered eccentric. What made her catering service special is that she used food and herbs to cater to her clients particular needs – one client was a woman’s club that needed food that would help the women keep the secrets of the club, another client needed a wine that would have the individuals remember the good times they had together. While I have not had an opportunity to research some of the recipes, the idea was both fascinating and entertaining to me. I was equally pleased to learn that the author resides in North Carolina and will write to her to encourage her to write more Garden based books. If you are looking for a good book of fiction, Garden Spells would be my recommendation.
