INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

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

For fans of The Correspondent by Virginia Evans and 84, Charing Cross Road, a bright and comforting novel following the surprising friendship between two young women in 1990s Seattle and Paris, celebrating the last days before the internet changed everything.

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.
