\u201c\u2026Michaele Weissman has written a beautiful love letter celebrating her four-decade marriage to her husband, a Latvian refugee who she did not fully understand until she understood his bread\u2026\u201d \u2014Francis Lam, host of The Splendid Table<\/a> podcast<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I loved this book\u2026.It made me laugh and at the end, it brought tears to my eyes\u2026\u201d\u2014Zibby Owens, host of the Moms Don\u2019t Have Time to Read Books<\/a> podcast<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA charming, insightful meditation on the intersection of love, family, and food.\u201d\u2014Kirkus Reviews<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe prevailing tone is light, but Weissman doesn\u2019t shy away from serious topics, including John\u2019s trauma as a WWII refugee\u2026the result is a witty celebration of marriage that\u2019s sure to resonate.\u201d\u2014Publisher’s Weekly<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“This voicey, often funny memoir is comprised of 125 chapters of varying length, some just a page, some even shorter. Here\u2019s the entirety of chapter 41, \u201cMarriage: Second Definition\u201d: \u201cMarriage: An intimate relationship existing on a continuum between love and hate, with partners perpetually suspended between the two.\u201d Some of the chapters form short, lyrical essays; some are more journalistic. The memoir really shines when Weissman recounts research visits to Latvia and Germany\u2026 that led her to a deeper understanding of MeIngailis\u2019 family history and the trauma of war and exile, as well as Latvian history and its unique bread.”\u2014BookPage<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a superbly researched and very well written exploration of interfaith\/intercultural marriage, largely told through the lens of Latvian rye bread.\u201d\u2014Lisa Cynamon Mayers, co-chair of the Mandel JCC Cleveland Jewish Book Festival<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Beautiful. Michaele Weissman takes us on a magical journey across continents and time, and I doubt there is a couple who won\u2019t see themselves in the story of this marriage. The trail of rye bread crumbs (real and symbolic) led me to an emotional glimpse of the impact of love, war, and fear on our humanity and who we become.”\u2014Liz Neumark, CEO and founder of Great Performances Catering<\/a> and author of Sylvia\u2019s Table<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI closed the last pages with tears in my eyes for the gift of these complex histories, this compelling love story\u2014and a determination to find the best rye bread in town.\u201d\u2014Lauren Francis-Sharma, author of Book of the Little Axe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201cI just finished reading\u00a0The Rye Bread Marriage<\/em><\/a>, by Michaele Weissman, a food memoir melding the history of rye bread, the complexities of an immigrant marriage, and fabulous food writing.\u201c \u2014Joan Nathan<\/a>, food scholar and cookbook writer, on great books depicting food or cooking.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
