Slow Noodles: A Cambodian Memoir of Love, Loss, and Family Recipes by Chantha Nguon

5.0

A book that deserves every page to be turned. Not an easy and at times enjoyable read, but one that shines a light on the conflict in Cambodia then Vietnam and Thailand for refugees. I found Chantha’s experience harrowing and often wondered if I could have even survived what she and many others went through. As a bonus though, all the dishes described throughout sound delicious although some were just rice and salt and chili being served in refugee camps. Slow Noodles was truly a remarkable, at times unbelievable, story.
