Pieces of happiness : a novel of friendship, hope and chocolate / Anne Ostby.

Ostby, Anne, 1958- (author.).

Summary:

""I've planted my feet on Fijian earth and I intend to stay here until the last sunset. Why don't you join me? Leave behind everything that didn't work out!" When Sina, Maya, Ingrid, and Lisbeth each receive a letter in the mail posing the same question, the answer is obvious. Their old high school friend Kat, Kat who ran away to the South Pacific as soon as they graduated, has extended the invitation of a lifetime: Come live with me on my cocoa farm in Fiji. Come grow old in paradise. Now in their sixties, the friends have all but resigned themselves to the cards they've been dealt. As they adjust to their new lives together, the friends are watched over by Ateca, Kat's longtime housekeeper, who oftentimes knows the women better than they know themselves. Surrounded by an azure-blue ocean, cocoa trees, and a local culture that is fascinating, the friends find a new purpose in starting a business making chocolate."-- Provided by publisher.
