Soon Alice learns that while baked Alaska and meatloaf five ways may seem harmless, Nellie´s secrets may have been anything but.
As Alice cooks her way through the past, she realizes that within the cookbook´s pages Nellie left clues about her life-including a mysterious series of unsent letters penned to her mother. But when she finds a vintage cookbook buried in a box in the old home´s basement, she becomes captivated by the cookbook´s previous owner-1950s housewife Nellie Murdoch. When Alice Hale leaves a career in publicity to become a writer and follows her husband to the New York suburbs, she is unaccustomed to filling her days alone in a big, empty house. As she discovers remarkable parallels between this woman´s life and her own, it causes her to question the foundation of her own relationship with her husband-and what it means to be a wife fighting for her place in a patriarchal society. In this intriguing dual narrative novel, a modern-day woman finds inspiration in hidden notes left by her home´s previous owner, a quintessential 1950s housewife. This is a thrilling, audacious story about women daring to take control.-Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six
Karma Brown has long been a favorite of mine and this book is proof she just keeps getting better and better. Recipe for a Perfect Wife is a bold, intoxicating, page-turner.
