A novel of five lifelong friends who, in their 60s, decide to live together on a cocoa farm in Fiji, where they not only take up a chocolate business but reinforce their friendships and rediscover themselves. "I've planted my foot on Fijian globe, and I intend to stay here until the last sunset. The trend is to become a member of me? Leave behind exactly what didn't work out!" When Sina, Maya, Ingrid, and Lisbeth each get a letter in the mail posing the same question, the answer is apparent. Their old senior high school good friend Kat - Kat the adventurer, Kat who distributed her wings and became popular when they graduated - has expanded the invitation of an eternity: Come live with me on my cocoa farm in Fiji. Come spend the days eating chocolate and gabbing like teens once again, clear of men, problems, and frosty. Come get old in paradise, collectively, as sisters. Who could say no? Now in their 60s, the friends have all but resigned themselves to the cards they've been dealt. There's Sina, a single mother with financial woes; soothing Maya, who feels the world slipping from her; Ingrid, the perennial loner; Lisbeth, a woman with a seemingly picture-perfect life; and then Kat, who is recently widowed. As they adjust to their new lives collectively, the friends are viewed over by Ateca, Kat's longtime housekeeper, who frequently knows the ladies much better than they know themselves and recognizes them for what they are simply: like "a necklace manufactured from shells: from the same beach but all of them different". Bounded by an azure-blue sea, cocoa trees, and a local culture that is fascinatingly, joyfully alien, the friends find a fresh purpose in starting a small business making chocolate: bittersweet, succulent pieces of happiness. A story of love, anticipation, and chocolate, Portions of Enjoyment will reaffirm your faith in friendship, second chances, and the value of indulging one's great tooth.
