The Woman Who Wanted More Vicky Zimmerman
Paperback published by Zaffre
Two women. One unusual cookbook. And a friendship that will show them how to savour each moment.
Kate Parker is about to turn forty and her world has fallen apart. Her seemingly rock solid relationship is suddenly in the air, and she’s been forced to move back with her mother. In need of some distraction, Kate reluctantly volunteers at her local retirement home
Cecily Finn is a ninety-seven-year-old resident of Launderdale House for Exeptional Ladies. Her tongue is as sharp as her mind but lately she’s lost her spark, simply resigned to the Imminent End.
But when Cecily prescribes Kate a self-help recipe book with a difference – and so begins an unlikely friendship between two lonely and stubborn souls.
Together, these two very different women one at the end of her life, one adrift somewhere in the middle – will show each other that food is for feasting, life is for living and that it’s always essential to ask for more.
MY REVIEW
Everyone on Twitter is talking about The Woman Who Wanted More by Vicky Zimmerman and I can see why. I myself had to tweet about this book as I think it’s sensational with a mixture of food to feed the heart and love and friendship. Kate Parker feels lucky to be in love with her boyfriend Nick, who just so happens to be a good cook, knocking up those delicious recipes that Kate enjoyed so much. Let’s face it, we all love food cooked by our boyfriend. Nick has plans for Kate to move in with him, but first there’s a trip to France. They seem happy just like people do, making plans and taking holidays. But the trip to France goes horribly wrong. I loved the idea of Kate having a friend with Cecily a ninety-seven-year-old, her story was fascinating, one that it is very easy to feel so real. Will Kate and Nick make up after their trip to France that went not the way Kate planned it to turn out? I recommend The Woman Who Wanted More by Vicky Zimmerman to every reader, whatever your age.
