adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This was a beautiful and incredibly sad story. The book was raw and as an American it was good reading her story while, living during the Vietnam war. 

This was the first time I've read a book that focused on food which, I believe made the book 5 stars. The way everything was connected was beautiful.
