That Part Was True

by Deborah McKinlay-Orion Books - NZ$29.99

Reminiscent of ONE DAY and 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD, THAT PART WAS TRUE is a bittersweet story about falling in love and risking it all.

Can you fall in love with someone you've never met?

When Eve Petworth writes to Jackson Cooper to praise a scene in one of his books, they discover a mutual love of cookery and food. As their letters criss-cross the ocean that lies between them, friendship and then romance blossom despite Jackson's colourful love life and Eve's tense relationship with her soon-to-be-married daughter. 
Little by little, Eve and Jack begin to believe that they may have a chance to change their lives and possibly get a second chance at happiness. They just need to actually meet. . .

A gorgeous, escapist read about food, friendship and falling in love from afar. . .
