This book was delightful and I enjoyed the format, though probably would have enjoyed the recipe more before I became vegan ;) I very much enjoyed the style and semi-mystical elements, but struggled with some of the choices characters made and wanted a different ending.

I enjoyed learning about home remedies (some practical and some a little outrageous) that have been forgotten from american collective memory over generations of consumerism.
