Ruth Reichl!! She has written about 4 or 5. I have read 2 and cannot wait to read another. I also read A Pearl In The Storm over the summer, very inspiring story of first woman to row solo across the Atlantic.

Yes, Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl is very good. Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov is my absolute favorite.
