Title: Touching, Poignant and Hopeful
Review: Tender at the Bone gives the reader a closer glimpse of Ms. Reichl and the factors that made her the fine food critic she is today. Alternating between touching, funny, poignant and outright tragic, Tender at the Bone is a different sort of book than Garlic and Sapphires. Here we see Ms. Reichl as a young girl, caught between the mood swings and impulsive (and often nonsensical) behavior of a clearly disturbed mother and a father who isn't quite sure how to manage it all. The tales are absorbing, and Reichl again grabs the reader and takes them along for the ride. Be prepared to gasp with laughter and horror at the experiences she relates. Like her recipes, you'll be looking for more!
