Description
England, 1837. When Queen Victoria begins her reign, Eliza Acton puts the finishing touches on a collection of poems. She dreams of seeing her book published, but a stubborn publisher assures Eliza that poetry isn’t a woman’s business. Culinary books, on the other hand—Eliza has never cooked, yet she doesn’t intend to give up. She hires seventeen-year-old Ann Kirby as her assistant, and between the girls a strong friendship begins to grow. Collecting recipes from around the world and learning the art of cooking, Eliza and Ann create a unique book, breaking the social stereotypes of Victorian England. This is a story about delicious food, family secrets, and true friendship—but above all, it’s a story about women who changed attitudes toward cooking forever.
