Publisher Description
“Absolutely dazzling.” –Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife “Filled with food and passion...If you love historical fiction, you'll fall hard for this one.” —Bustle.com She’d made it sound as though her husband would be joining them for dinner. She’d made it sound that way on purpose, and then she arrived alone. Los Angeles, 1934. Mary Frances is young, restlessly married, and returning from her first sojourn in France. She is hungry, and not just for food: she wants Tim, her husband Al’s charming friend, who encourages her writing and seems to understand her better than anyone. After a night’s transgression, it’s only a matter of time before Mary Frances claims what she truly desires, plunging all three of them into a tangled triangle of affection that will have far-reaching effects on their families, their careers, and their lives. Set in California, France, and the Swiss Alps, The Arrangement is a sparkling, sensual novel that explores the complexities of a marriage and the many different ways in which we love. Writing at the top of her game, Ashley Warlick gives us a completely mesmerizing story about a woman well ahead of her time, who would go on to become the legendary food writer M. F. K. Fisher.

“Narrator Cassandra Campbell highlights the complex personalities in this fictional account of Fisher’s early adulthood…Campbell is careful to color her performance with respect for the many layered emotions, allowing listeners to understand the trio’s distress, caused by feelings they can’t control. This audiobook is perfect for Fisher’s fans, though it offers little new material. For those less familiar with Fisher, it provides a look at an earlier time when strong women were not supported in their endeavors.”
