{"product_id":"island-apart","title":"Island Apart","description":"From the celebrated author of Planet Barbecue and How to Grill comes a surprising story of love, loss, redemption, and really good food.\nClaire Doheney, recovering from a serious illness, agrees to house-sit in an oceanfront mansion on Chappaquiddick island in Martha's Vineyard. The New York book editor hopes to find solace, strength, and sufficient calm to finish her biography of the iconoclastic psychotherapist, Wilhelm Reich.\nThe last thing she expects to find is love.\nThen she meets a mysterious man the locals call the Hermit. No one knows his real name or where he lives. To their mutual surprise, Claire and the stranger discover that they share a passion for cooking that soon sparks something more.\nBut Claire's new friend has a terrible secret that threatens to drive them apart forever. The clock is ticking. Can Claire let love into her life once more before it's too late?\nTold by a New York Times bestselling author and international TV host with a keen eye for Chappaquiddick's extraordinary natural beauty, Island Apart has it all―romance, history, travel, crime, lovemaking of exquisite intensity, and cooking scenes so vivid, they'll make your taste buds ache with hunger. Steven Raichlen's novel is a smart love story―not to mention a terrific beach read. Think The Bridges of Madison County with better food.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0765332388\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0765332388.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Raichlen, Steven\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
