THE GLASS KITCHEN

BY LINDA FRANCIS LEE

ABOUT THE BOOK:

With the glass kitchen,
Linda Francis Lee has served up a novel that is about the courage
it takes to follow your heart and be yourself.
A true recipe for life.

Portia Cuthcart never intended to leave Texas. Her dream was to run the Glass Kitchen restaurant her grandmother built decades ago. But after a string of betrayals and the loss of her legacy, Portia is determined to start a new life with her sisters in Manhattan . . . and never cook again. But when she moves into a dilapidated brownstone on the Upper West Side, she meets twelve-year-old Ariel and her widowed father Gabriel, a man with his hands full trying to raise two daughters on his own. Soon, a promise made to her sisters forces Portia back into a world of magical food and swirling emotions, where she must confront everything she has been running from. What seems so simple on the surface is anything but when long-held secrets are revealed, rivalries exposed, and the promise of new love stirs to life like chocolate mixing with cream.

The Glass Kitchen is a delicious novel, a tempestuous story of a woman washed up on the shores of Manhattan who discovers that a kitchen—like an island—can be a refuge, if only she has the courage to give in to the pull of love, the power of forgiveness, and accept the complications of what it means to be family.

MY THOUGHTS/REVIEW:

THE GLASS KITCHEN by Linda Francis Lee is a delightful tale that foodies like myself are sure to enjoy. The story revolves around what would appear to be a very simple plot about three sisters who try and open a restaurant in Manhattan…a popular theme of late. THE GLASS KITCHEN, however, succeeds in its mission to give readers well-developed characters and dynamic descriptions that keep your mouth watering and the pages turning. As a politician’s wife, Portia Cuthcart had given up on her gift of culinary talent. What we find out is that Portia has a special magical power that allows her to create whatever food her palate suggests. Along with her two older sisters, she decides to make a go at becoming a restaurateur in Manhattan. The narrative is filled with delightful characters and settings that will make you drool for sure. With family secrets revealed and just a pinch of humor and romance, THE GLASS KITCHEN should be on everyone’s menu to read and enjoy!
