“A highly original, heart-warming story of an extraordinary friendship.” —Amy Poeppel, Award-Winning author of The Sweet Spot

A companion to the instant national bestseller Love & Saffron, this bright and comforting novel follows the surprising friendship between two young women in 1990s Seattle and Paris, illuminating the power of books to change our lives.

Sometimes a book can change your life...

Twenty-something Frida Rodriguez, daughter of Love & Saffron’s own Joan Bergstrom, comes to Paris in 1991, relishing the city’s butter-soaked cuisine and seeking her future as a war correspondent. But when she writes to a bookshop in Seattle, she receives more than just the book she requests. A friendship begins that will redefine the person she thought she wanted to become.

Seattle bookseller Kate Fair is transformed by Frida’s free spirit, spurred to kiss her handsome coworker, to believe in herself as a writer, and to find beauty even in loss. Through the most tumultuous years of their young lives—personally and globally—Kate and Frida’s friendship sustains and nourishes them as they show each other how to overcome self-doubt and the necessity of embracing joy even through our darkest hours.

A buoyant, mouth-watering oasis of a novel, Kate & Frida is a love letter to bookshops and booksellers, to the way stories shape how we perceive ourselves, to the passion we bring to life in our twenties, and to the last precious years before the internet changed everything.

A fantastic Book ! Don’t Miss It!

This was such a wonderful listening experience! A book about a friendship and so much more!
I Loved the letters and the way they managed to flesh out the characters ……even the minor ones .
It was Also a trip back to the 90’s with long forgotten references like “take me away … to a Calgon moment “
Don’t miss this gem!

The perfect book to escape into.

I haven't enjoyed a novel told entirely via letters this much since 84 Charing Cross Road.

The narrators are perfect, voicing the two main characters so distinctly that you always know who is who. The story of their growing friendship is amazing and well paced. The two women, strangers at first, gradually share more and more of their lives with each other, in grand, vivid, detail. It is a fun escape from the chaos of our current real world. Well, except for the sections that detail some of the horrors of war that took place in Bosnia in the early nineties.

Great characters, great writing, stellar narration.
