March Bookclub at Once Upon a Thyme Bookshop

This months selection will be What She Ate by Laura Shapiro

Everyone eats, and food touches on every aspect of our lives-social and cultural, personal, and political. Yet most biographies rarely pause at the table to explore what’s on the plate. Shapiro introduces six fascinating women, and in telling us about their lives, she puts the food right up front. What did these women eat? And why? And who was sitting across the table?When we follow the culinary trail through a woman’s life, we find surprises around every corner. She looks at Dorothy Wordsworth, Rosa Lewis, Eleanor Roosevelt, Eva Braun, Barbara Pym, and Helen Gurley Brown.

Purchase of the book from the shop is not required, but we do have copies available.
