Alexandra Rowland reliably delivers books that blend melancholy, hope, and delight in just the right measure. This was a wonderful novella about two people who encounter their gods in a dark wood and come away more fully themselves. I loved it.
My eggplant was also great. I dug out a new recipe on the quick when I realized I didn‘t have enough miso glaze left, and I‘ll definitely make it again. The sauce is Chinkiang vinegar-based.
