Kim Fay, LOVE & SAFFRON: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Love

Author Interview with Kim Fay and New Releases For the Week of June 21, 2022

Mark Bramhall

Kimberly Farr

Narrators Kimberly Farr and Cassandra Campbell perform most of Kim Fay’s epistolary novel, and they couldn’t be better. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Sandi Henschel discuss this story filled with friendship, love, and deep emotions. Imogen’s column in Seattle’s NORTHWEST HOME &amp; LIFE inspires Joan in L.A. to send a fan letter and a packet of saffron from her travels. Their correspondence grows into a close friendship. Farr gives Imogen a genial voice, and we hear a cheerful smile behind her words. Campbell captures Joan’s youth and enthusiasm. This audiobook is comfort food for difficult times. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Penguin Audio.Find more audiobook recommendations at audiofilemagazine.comToday’s episode is sponsored by Naxos AudioBooks. April 16th marks 60 years since the publication of The Golden Notebook, the breakthrough novel of Doris Lessing, the 2007 Nobel Laureate for Literature. Read by Juliet Stevenson, it is a brilliantly realised narrative of fragmentation – social, political, personal and sexual –, and is considered to be one of the most important books of the growing feminist movement of the 1950s.

Kim Fay - LOVE & SAFFRON

When 27-year-old Joan Bergstrom sends a fan letter - as well as a gift of saffron - to 59-year-old Imogen Fortier, a life-changing friendship begins. Joan lives in Los Angeles and is just starting out as a writer for the newspaper food pages. Imogen lives on Camano Island outside Seattle, writing a monthly column for a Pacific Northwest magazine, and while she can hunt elk and dig for clams, she's never tasted fresh garlic - exotic fare in the Northwest US of the 1960s. As the two women commune through their letters, they build a closeness that sustains them through the unexpected changes in their own lives.Food and a good life - they can't be separated. It is a discovery the women share not only with each other, but with the men in their lives. Because of her correspondence with Joan, Imogen's decades-long marriage blossoms into something new and exciting, and in turn, Joan learns that true love does not always come in the form we expect it to.Into this beautiful, intimate world comes the ultimate test of Joan and Imogen's friendship - a test that summons their unconditional trust in one another.
