A beautiful book. An exploration of family and experience across three generations. The power of storytelling expertly told. It was so interesting to get an insight into different cultures, and the seeking of belonging, the challenges associated. I could practically taste the food, smell the smells, hear the sounds. Such clever writing. It wasn't a book I zoomed through, as it did take some time to reflect and absorb. There were some passages where I was sobbing, but I was overall left with hope and admiration. I now have a desire to learn more. Although some parts didnt grab me quite as strongly as the rest, it is a very good book.
