The Glass Kitchen

A Novel of Sisters

By: Linda Francis Lee

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

Three sisters move from Texas to New York City to open a restaurant in this novel about food, family, and finding true love from the author of Emily and Einstein.

Portia Cuthcart never intended to leave Texas. Her dream was to run the Glass Kitchen restaurant her grandmother built decades ago. But after a string of betrayals and the loss of her legacy, Portia is determined to start a new life with her sisters in Manhattan... and never cook again. But when she moves into a dilapidated brownstone on the Upper West Side, she meets 12-year-old Ariel and her widowed father Gabriel, a man with his hands full trying to raise two daughters on his own. Soon, a promise made to her sisters forces Portia back into a world of magical food and swirling emotions, where she must confront everything she has been running from. What seems so simple on the surface is anything but when long-held secrets are revealed, rivalries exposed, and the promise of new love stirs to life like chocolate mixing with cream.

Great love story

Great story, loved the characters, had me teared up several times! just the right length. Julia did a great job with the read.

Fun romance with a touch of the supernatural.

In many a very traditional romance novel with engaging characters and a sweet story. It isn't anything revolutionary but should provide you with exactly what you want if romance novels are your thing.

So charming

Although there were some very predictable moments. The performance as always with MS Whelan is fabulous and the story kept me engaged to the very last word.
These characters are ones you know as well as want to get to know. There is a little magic mingled in that just adds to the charm. Great listen. And I've listened at least 3x.

Romance

I like the way the story unfolded about relationships, the honesty that is needed to keep them whole.

Great book

The book was a little slow at the beginning, as I couldn't get past the seemingly special power she had. But the more I got into it, the more I couldn't stop listening. I got goosebumps at more than one point in the book. A great listen.
