    Emily and Jessamine Bach are opposites in every way: 28-year-old Emily is the CEO of Veritech; 23-year-old Jess is an environmental activist and graduate student in philosophy. Emily is making a fortune in Silicon Valley, Jess works in an antiquarian bookstore. The Cookbook Collector is a novel about getting and spending, and about the substitutions we make when we can’t find what we’re looking for. But above all, it is about holding on to what is real in a virtual world: love that stays.

    Story

    As usual Allegra Goodman pays attention to the details and surprises us to the end with characters that are real and imaginative. The reader took a bit to get used to but after the first chapter I liked her interpretation of the different characters--it actually helped me track the details!! A surprise and thought-provoking ending.
