Fern & Kettle

Fern & KettleSome places have a way of finding you right when you need them.Maybe you ducked in out of the rain. Maybe the light through the window caught your eye. Maybe you just needed somewhere to sit that wasn't your apartment, your office, your life as it currently stood. However you arrived, Suki is already reaching for the kettle - she has a way of knowing what you need before you do - and there's a table waiting, and the plants don't judge, and for a little while the world outside can sort itself out without you.Fern & Kettle is a collection of linked short stories set inside one quietly extraordinary tea shop in San Francisco, where the menu changes with the seasons and the regulars change with each other. There's Nora, a project coordinator who comes for the Darjeeling and stays, slowly and somewhat inconveniently, for the accountant at the window table with ink on his hands. And there's Mara, a twenty-two-year-old with fourteen thousand followers and a growing suspicion that the most honest thing she's ever posted was the morning she didn't post at all.These are small stories. Nobody saves the world. But somebody orders you a pot of tea before you even walk through the door, and somehow that turns out to be enough.For anyone who's ever found a place that felt like permission to exhale - this one's for you.
