Random House, 1998. Hardcover. Near Fine.
The first of Ruth Reichl’s memoirs, Tender at the Bone (1998) is the esteemed writer’s vulnerable and often heartbreaking origin story. With a mother suffering mental illness who served spoiled food so frequently as to be dubbed the Queen of Mold, Reichl developed a palate and craving for fine food, not because of her mother but in spite of her.
We are offering a Near Fine hardcover, later printing, although you can still get it in paperback. We’d be remiss not to mention her other memoirs (Comfort Me with Apples, Garlic and Sapphires, and Save Me the Plums)—which are so expertly written that they seamlessly connect as if they were of one long volume.
