Reservations for Two
This original title is included with Classics Plus.
Philadelphia, 1993. Maggie Doyle is a waitress at an all-night diner when she falls for Declan Shea, a brilliant, self-destructive line cook with shaking hands and a genius for omelets at two in the morning. He gets clean, she marries him, and his wild food book turns him into the most famous traveling chef on television. Then the road takes him away, one postcard at a time.
Told by the woman who loved him first and longest, this is the story of a marriage that ended and a love that didn't: divorce, a second husband who is the kindest man alive, a daughter who becomes a pastry chef, a heartbreak in New Orleans, and, thirty years later, a diagnosis that steals Declan's words just as he finally learns what to say. When he comes home to the carriage house behind Maggie's garden, an unlikely family gathers around one table, and the two of them find a new language made of hands, smells, and three small squeezes.
