More of a Howdtheydoit than a Whodunnit this magical tale will sweep you back to simpler times and envelop you in a warm blanket of nostalgia. At the center of the novel is an ice cream shoppe with mysterious powers. Upon entering, customers are hit with a marvelous and magical aroma which immediately transports them to different periods of their life. Ping-ponging through four generations of rich family history and tender community connections, a narrative emerges that threads a message of endurance and togetherness unlike any other. And rather than dipping into an expected sugary sweetness, the melange of voices rings honest and true, making this a highly respected coming-of-age story you’ll want to revisit again and again.
This softer, sweeter 1st edition is still a favorite among many. For those who can’t live without it, the remaining bottles are available in The Rare Book Room while supplies last.
