Review of A Cook's Notebook: Sorrow & Joy Cake

This piece pulled me right in. I haven't yet listened to other installments in (what appears to be) the series, but if they are of this style, then I look forward to them.
Very simple, straightforward delivery. We eavesdrop on a personal email/note to a distant relative containing equal parts social/familial niceties and bittersweet questions that will never be answered.
Family history, why things happen as they do, and what might be different today if the past were different....universal human ruminations infinitely unanswerable.
