Recipe by the Book: Cape Cod Oatmeal Cookies for Julia Glass’s And the Dark Sacred Night

Julia Glass’s latest novel, And the Dark Sacred Night, introduces Kit, a forty-year-old art historian who sets out to solve the mystery of his biological father’s identity. From the rubble of his past emerges an unforgettable story about the youthful choices that steer people’s destinies, the necessity of forgiveness, and the risks of unraveling old family secrets—universal topics that will surely spark a lively book club discussion!

Kit’s journey takes him to the tip of Cape Cod. We think this hearty oatmeal cookie recipe from the iconic Fannie Farmer Cookbook will perfectly complement your exploration of Glass’s moving novel.
