Recipe for Life

This story Recipe for Life by Nicky Pellegrino was a pleasant read dealing with two young Englishwomen, Alice and Leila. As is expected from the title, food plays a major part in this story. It is told from two perspectives - Alice tells her story in the first person and in Italy an older woman, Babetta, has her story told in third person, chapter by chapter. Alice and Leila go to a little village in Italy and it is there the two stories are intertwined. Alice can't seem to decide for herself how her life will play out and tends to take the "easy" way, letting others decide for her. The years go by and eventually Alice makes her own decisions. This was a "nice" romantic story, with the village itself as an important character. A rainy day book. 31/2/5
