But when she finds a vintage cookbook buried in a box in the old home's basement, she becomes captivated by the cookbook's previous owner--1950s housewife Nellie Murdoch. As Alice cooks her way through the past, she realizes that within the cookbook's pages Nellie left clues about her life--including a mysterious series of unsent letters penned to her mother. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSoon Alice learns that while baked Alaska and meatloaf five ways may seem harmless, Nellie's secrets may have been anything but. When Alice uncovers a more sinister--even dangerous--side to Nellie's marriage, and has become increasingly dissatisfied with the mounting pressures in her own relationship, she begins to take control of her life and protect herself with a few secrets of her own.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dutton","offers":[{"title":"Recipe for a Perfect Wife | Karma Brown | Hardcover | 9781524744939 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1763864","offer_id":49287652081816,"sku":"1763864","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81gFaVeXXfL.jpg?v=1781894169","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/recipe-for-a-perfect-wife","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
