A story of food and love, injury and healing, "Keeping the Feast"
is the triumphant memoir of one couple overcoming depression
through nourishment and restoration in Italy
Paula Butturini and John Tagliabue met in Italy, fell in love, and
four years later, married in Rome. But less than a month after the
wedding, tragedy struck. They had transferred from their Italian
paradise to Warsaw and while reporting on an uprising in Romania,
John was shot and nearly killed by sniper fire. Although he
recovered from his physical wounds in less than a year, the process
of healing had just begun. Unable to regain his equilibrium, her
husband became depressed, sinking into a deep sadness that
reverberated throughout their relationship. It was the abrupt end
of what they'd known together, and the beginning of a new phase of
life neither had planned for. All of a sudden, Paula was forced to
reexamine her marriage, her husband, and herself.
Paula began to reconsider all of her previous assumptions about
healing. She discovered that sometimes patience can be a vice,
anger a virtue. That sometimes it is vital to make demands of the
sick, that they show signs of getting better. And she rediscovered
the importance of the most fundamental of human rituals: the daily
sharing of food around the family table.
A universal story of hope and healing, "Keeping the Feast" is an
account of one couple's triumph over tragedy and illness, and a
celebration of the simple rituals of life, even during the worst
life crises. Beautifully written and tremendously moving, Paula's
story is a testament to the extraordinary sustaining powers of food
and love, and to the stubborn belief that there is always an
afterward, there is always hope.
