The Woman Who Wanted More

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 up in the air, and she`s been forced to move back in 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 Lauderdale House for Exceptional Ladies. Her tongue is as sharp as her mind but lately she`s lost her spark, seemingly resigned to the Imminent End.But then 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 near 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.”Beautifully written, full of insight and food. This is one of those I carried round the house wanting to read it every spare second” Katie Fforde
