Pieces of Happiness: A Novel of Friendship, Hope and Chocolate by Anne Ostby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book started slow but, in the end, it made me cry. I wanted to read it because it’s set in Fiji, my favorite place in the world.
After her husband’s death, Kat invites four of her high school friends to come join her in Fiji and make a new life as a group. For one reason or another, their lives were worth casting aside and taking Kat up on her invitation and they all came.
Kat owns and operates a cocoa farm and, eventually and with great excitement, the ladies decide they should produce chocolate. They are all able to contribute to the enterprise including Maya who is spiraling deeper into Alzheimer’s.
Secrets are shared, bonds are strengthened, and there is plenty of love to go around. Including my love of these characters and this book. 🙂
