Brooklyn in Love

After her successful book about living in Paris (PARIS, MY SWEET), foodie Amy Thomas regales listeners with a memoir about her return to New York City. Along with her epicurean adventures, she talks about meeting her husband online, moving to Brooklyn, and starting a family after age 40. Her joy and apprehension regarding her new life as a wife and mother in Brooklyn resonate clearly in Cassandra Campbell's narration. She heartily expresses the descriptions of mouthwatering bites at restaurants, bars, and bakeries in Brooklyn and other parts of New York City, authentically voicing Thomas's passion for her subject through accounts of favorite dishes and their creation. Thomas's life at times seems a bit too perfect, and production quality isn't seamless from chapter to chapter, but overall this is a delicious undertaking. S.H. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
