At first, things are fine, but then Alice begins to realize Nate expects her to be a “wife” – he expects a clean house, cooked meals, and soon, a baby. Living off of one income – her husband Nate’s – the two of them move to the suburbs into a home whose owner died the year before. She doesn’t tell her husband she’s been fired – only says she’s left the company. But when she finds a vintage cookbook buried in a box in the old home’s basement, she becomes captivated by the cookbook’s previous owner–1950s housewife Nellie Murdoch.Īlice is a driven, professional Manhattanite – until she gets fired from her publicity job. When Alice Hale leaves a career in publicity to become a writer and follows her husband to the New York suburbs, she is unaccustomed to filling her days alone in a big, empty house. I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did.
