Cooking with Great Reviews for Georgia's Kitchen by Jenny Nelson



Georgia's Kitchen is the book club selection for Chick Lit and Other Fiction for January.   The theme is hobbies/ New Year’s Resolutions.   I think this book brings a wonderful hobby of cooking.
Synopsis:      


Welcome to Marco’s the restaurant which is also owned by Marco; where Georgia is the Chef.  Marco and Georgia have a history from the past.   She is popular with her staff and has a lot riding on a good read review from Mercedes Sante a well known critic.  Georgia thinks she has finally found the way to lift her career when tragedy strikes.  Georgia is left without a job or much of a career.    Georgia checks her lists and decides a trip to Italy is the thing to do.   She goes to visit her friend and mentor Claudia Cavalli.  What will she find there?  Will she learn from her friend Claudia?
My Thoughts:
I loved this novel.  You must check out this debut novel by Jenny Nelson.  I can’t wait for her next book.  What     I  truly loved about this book is the ingredients involved in this story:  great character, wonderful setting, and great career.  I really liked Georgia’s character felt that I could identify with her struggles and found myself rooting for in the end.   The story has many twists and turns.

5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries?
