Keeping the Feast - Keeping the Marriage

Paula Butturini, author of Keeping the Feast: One Couple's Story of Love, Food, and Healing in Italy, will make an appearance at Bernardsville Public Library on Thursday, July 14, at 7 p.m. for a book signing.  Please come to this free program to meet the author and discuss her book.  Copies of Keeping the Feast will be made available at the library for purchase and signing by the author.

Keeping the Feast recounts the grave gunshot injury to her husband, New York Times bureau chief John Tagliabue, who had been covering the Romanian uprising in 1989.  Married just a short while, the couple shared a strong love of Italy, and so they settled in Rome while he recuperated.  The author describes her evolving ideas about her husband's process of recovery and how sharing daily food was a sustenance to both their bodies and their marriage.  The library has a copy of the book available for check out, as well.
