Babette's Feast
If you enjoyed watching and/or reading
Like Water for Chocolate and/or Chocolat, you will love Babette's Feast. Filmed in Denmark and released in 1987, Babette's Feast is a kind-hearted story with the spotlight on French cuisine and wines. Worth a watch. Subtitled.

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
Helen Simonson, a transplanted Brit to the US, has written a wonderful story in
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. Humorous and heartwarming, the book has lots of Britishisms and offers much hope for aging widows and widowers.
...and the book cover for the UK printing is lovely also.
Worth a read, for sure.

Gone Girl
Just in time for the film release, I have finished up reading Gillian (pronounced with a hard G) Flynn's Gone Girl. Gone Girl is a terribly twisted, dark, psychological thriller surrounding the marriage of Nick and Amy Dunne and written by an author who describes herself as having a normal childhood who loved horror movies from early on as her father was a film professor. The setting is a river-side town in Missouri upturned by the disappearance of "Amazing Amy".
The movie version, starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike is set to release on October 3rd, with a premier showing in Cape Girardeau, Missouri the day prior.
Worth a read, though perhaps not necessarily for newlyweds.
