Hillary Manton Lodge's newest book called Reservations for Two is the follow up of A Table by the Window in her Blue Door series. She quickly picks up with Juliette's story of opening a restaurant with her brother, her mother's illness, but mostly about her on-going, long-distance romance with Neil (who lives in Memphis, which was most interesting to me, since I live here). She continues her search for her deceased biological grandfather after finding (in the previous book) information which leads her to France and Italy for proof of his identity.
The book is light-hearted, and filled with wonderful recipes. Easy-to-read, restful and enjoyable. Can't argue with that. I especially enjoyed the surprise ending. Don't cheat and peek. It's worth the wait.
