Love & Saffron

When twenty-seven-year-old Joan Bergstrom sends a fan letter - as well as a gift of saffron - to fifty-nine-year-old Imogen Fortier a life-changing friendship begins. Joan lives in Los Angeles and is just starting out as a writer for the newspaper food pages. Imogen lives on Camano Island outside Seattle writing a monthly column for a Pacific Northwest magazine and while she can hunt elk and dig for clams she's never tasted fresh garlic - exotic fare in the Northwest US of the 1960s. As the two women commune through their letters they build a closeness that sustains them through the Cuban Missile Crisis the assassination of President Kennedy and the unexpected changes in their own lives.

Food and a good life - they can't be separated. It is a discovery the women share not only with each other but with the men in their lives. Because of her correspondence with Joan Imogen's decades-long marriage blossoms into something new and exciting and in turn Joan learns that true love does not always come in the form we expect it to.

Into this beautiful intimate world comes the ultimate test of Joan and Imogen's friendship - a test that summons their unconditional trust in one another.
