The cookbook collector

Emily and Jessamine Bach are opposites in every way: Twenty-eight-year-old Emily is the CEO of Veritech, twenty-three-year-old Jess is an environmental activist and graduate student in philosophy. Pragmatic Emily is making a fortune in Silicon Valley, romantic Jess works in an antiquarian bookstore. Emily is rational and driven, while Jess is dreamy and whimsical. Emily's boyfriend, Jonathan, is fantastically successful. Jess's boyfriends, not so much - as her employer George points out in what he hopes is a completely disinterested way. Bicoastal, surprising, rich in ideas and characters, The Cookbook Collector is a novel about getting and spending, and about the substitutions we make when we can't find what we're looking for: reading cookbooks instead of cooking, speculating instead of creating, collecting instead of living. But above all it is about holding on to what is real in a virtual world: love that stays.

  • "Emily e Jessamine Bach sono due sorelle molto diverse tra loro. Emily ha ventotto anni ed è già a capo di un'azienda informatica, mentre Jess, fresca di laurea in filosofia, è una grande sognatrice e lavora part-time in una piccola libreria indipendente. Razionale e ambiziosa luna, romantica e ingenua l'altra, Emily e Jess sono molto diverse anche in amore: Emily ha un fidanzato in carriera e Jess si perde tra mille storie inconcludenti, sotto gli occhi gelosi del suo capo George. Sarà proprio lui, con l'aiuto di un'antichissima collezione di libri di ricette, a guidarla passo dopo passo, ingrediente dopo ingrediente, alla scoperta del vero amore. Ma anche per la solida Emily il destino ha in serbo sorprese e rivelazioni che potrebbero cambiarle per sempre la vita..."
