ISBN: 9781911590262.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho wouldnt swoon? The story of their attachment unfolds like a genial dinner party... The food goes deep and the host sets a buoyant tone The New York Times\n\nA charming, tender and life-affirming memoir of a womans unlikely bond with a 93-year-old widower\n\nWith its delicious food, warm jazz, and stunning views of Manhattan, Edwards home was a much-needed refuge for reporter Isabel Vincent. Her recently widowed ninety-something neighbour would prepare weekly meals for Isabel, dinners she would never prepare for herself - fresh oysters, juicy steak, sugar-dusted apple galette. But over long, dark evenings where they both grieved for their very different lost marriages, Isabel realised she was being offered a gift greater than good wine and perfect lamb chops.\n\nAs they progressed from meals à deux to full dinner parties with an eclectic New York crowd, she saw that Edward was showing her how to rediscover the joy of life and turn hers around: how even a shared bowl of chowder could transform loneliness and anxiety into friendship, freedom, and a pure, simple pleasure Isabel had not known she could find again.\n\nBoth moving and uplifting, Dinner with Edward raises a glass to the power of simple pleasures and the surprising connections formed in times of hardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pushkin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44980260241461,"sku":"ByrdShop_191159026X","price":44.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781911590262_20a2a553-bda2-4371-9632-c233051a02ce.jpg?v=1778741916","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dinner-with-edward-a-story-of-an-unexpected-friendship-9781911590262","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
