Book Reviews

The Delectably 'True Confections' Of A Chocoholic

by Jennifer Reese

Katherine Weber delivers the delightfully sardonic story of Alice Tatnall Ziplinsky — an ambitious candy aficionado and heiress (by marriage) to the 84-year-old Zip's candy company. Alice's narrative — plump with candy history, candy commentary and personal anecdotes — is one to be savored.
