In the wake of her grandfather’s death, writer and aspiring novelist Laura Jane Faulds decided to create Savoy Truffle. Out of all of his living relatives, Fauld’s grandfather left all of his money to two: his wife of sixty years, and Fauld herself. She addresses her late grandfather directly, retelling her favorite memories of their time together, her love of writing, the details of his funeral, romantic mishaps, and more. As a tribute to her grandfather (and George Harrison), Faulds decides to buy two boxes of Godiva truffles, describing the flavor and texture of each. Faulds extensively discusses the process of writing her novel, which she started directly after her grandfather’s death. –Alekhya
