General Editorial Review
From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home is a book that captivates readers with its enchanting, heartbreaking, and love-filled story. Written in a novel-like fashion, the book tells a tale of inspiration and emotional catharsis. The author, Tembe Locke, takes readers on a journey of self-discovery and healing, while also sharing beautiful moments of love and grief. One aspect that stands out in the book is the portrayal of the author's relationship with her late husband, Saro. Their love story is described as both beautiful and heartbreaking, leaving readers emotionally invested in their lives. However, some readers express a desire for more of their love story, as they didn't want Saro's death to overshadow their time together. The book seamlessly transitions between past and present, although this writing style may lead to some confusion for certain readers. The lack of clear breaks in the writing can make it challenging to distinguish between different periods of time. Additionally, there is feedback about the inclusion of journal-like entries throughout the book, which some readers felt didn't align with their expectations. Despite these criticisms, readers appreciate the strong sense of family depicted in the book. The author's close-knit Sicilian family and her relationship with her mother-in-law are particularly praised. The journey of two women learning to love and accept each other is seen as a highlight. In conclusion, From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home is lauded as an excellent read with a beautiful love story. While some readers may have reservations regarding the transitions between time periods and the journal-like entries, the heartwarming portrayal of family connections and the emotional depth of the author's experiences make it a recommended book.
