Book Review: 'That Part Was True' by Deborah McKinlay

That Part Was True by Deborah McKinlay
In Deborah McKinlay's charming novel, That Part Was True, Eve Petorth, a long divorced and lonely British woman strikes up a friendship through letters and emails with a successful American author. Jackson Cooper, who is approaching his 50th birthday and has recently divorced for the second time, likes that Eve is straightforward and a foodie. The pen pals offer each other help and support with their relationship dramas before agreeing to finally meet up in Paris.

"A charming and quick read, That Part Was True introduces two innocuous, somewhat lonely, characters who forge an unlikely friendship through mailed letters. The pair's platonic relationship is comforting and reliably innocent, yet their discussion of food and love is wonderfully sensory. The ending is hardly unexpected, but provides a nice wrap-up to this quiet, slice-of-life tale." - Romantic Times Book Reviews
