Happy reading Housekeeper’s!

The Scent of Water has always been my favorite book, I just love the gentleness of it, and it brings me joy each time I read it. Highly recommend it. I have a fair few from your list on my shelf. I think we Brocante people are drawn to similar types of things to nourish ourselves with 🙂
I have read it a few times now and everytime it strikes me as more magical than the last.x

Simple Abundance truly changed my life as a wife and mom during the ’90’s. I’ve been reading the new version this year, and really enjoying it.
Mine too Karen: and the new edition speaks to my heart in exactly the same way.x
I bought An Everlasting Meal based on this recommendation (also its inspiration, How to Cook a Wolf — which I’ve read before and I’ve been wanting to own for awhile now). I’m only a couple of chapters in, but I’m loving it and have a “green things that are about to go bad” soup simmering on the stove right now. Thanks!
Yay for green things on the turn soup! Enjoy.x
Simple Abundance changed my life as well and gave me the courage to start my life over. I have read all of Sarah’s books and each one came at the exact time in my life that I needed it. I also purchased the new edition of Simple Abundance, but with the pandemic have fallen behind in reading. Some days I just need to get through the day. I really need to get back to reading daily. Thanks for the reminder.
Elizabeth Goudge has been my favorite author since I discovered her books at age 12. (I am now 71). I’m going to read this again.
Also I need the book about cooking.
And how could I not love life-changing Simple Abundance?
I will need to check the other books. I will probably love them too
