I wasn’t sure what to expect from The Divine Proverb of Streusel, but I loved this book. The story features Nikki Werner, a literature teacher whose world is rocked by her parents divorce. Unable to commit to her own boyfriend she takes off to the farm where her father grew up. Nikki decides to summer with her bachelor uncle and help him renovate her grandma’s farmhouse.

While clearing old boxes, Nikki finds a recipe book, filled with more than food ideas. Each item also includes a life lesson. As Nikki works though the book, she’s able to process the chaos in her personal and family life.

Sara Brunsvold is one of the most creative writers around. Just wow. This book has it all. From Nikki’s emotional angst, to the brokenness within her wider family. The gentleness of the life lessons in the book, two dashes of romance, and of course, the recipes. The characters and setting are beautifully drawn and I challenge any reader not to enjoy this lovely story.

I received a copy of The Divine Proverb of Streusel from the publisher via NetGalley. The enjoyment is all my own.
