Beautiful and surprisingly hopeful! I learned so much about what happened in Cambodia and SE Asia at that time. And this book will make you hungry! I was googling Cambodian restaurants near me by the third chapter. The book is full of recipes to make the author's cooking accessible, too.

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.
