Tiny Moons: A Year of Eating in Shanghai by Nina Mingya Powles
lighthearted
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
I recommend reading chapters of this book before meals, not after - because you'll very likely be craving the delicious dishes that Nina describes.
It's not a long read, but it works so well as small chapters focused on certain dishes and the memories and thoughts that go along with them. Nina's writing is delightful, thoughtful, and simple - and beautiful and resonating because of that simplicity. I've gotten to the end of it too quickly, and while I feel very happy for having read this book, I would also love more!
