adventurous hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

5.0

This is a brilliant book. People who love feijoas - or fruit, or food in general really - should read it. In fact, if you've never heard of the feijoa, better still. The book will make you want to track one down as soon as possible, and you should do that too.
