Unpolished Gem by Alice Pung
5.0

This has sat on my shelf for nearly two years, a university text that I never had the time to read.

What a beautiful book. A charming account of Alice Pung's childhood without sensationalism or major upset. She's a wonderful storyteller, and I look forward to reading everything she has ever written if it has half as much humour and honesty as this did.
