The Book of Salt by Monique Truong

4.0

The Book of Salt is a beautiful book, set in Paris and told by the Vietnamese cook to Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein. The writing is captivating and the story is poignant. By the end I loved and appreciated the main character. If you pick it up and it seems a bit slow, stick with it. It's so worth it for the language and the magic that comes out of the story.
