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 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 in their own lives.  0aFemale friendshipvFiction.  0aFood writersvFiction.  7aEpistolary fiction.2lcgft  7aHistorical fiction.2lcgft
