The book felt disjointed, so I tried to think of it as though someone were telling stories from their life; as we usually do not learn about someone straight through from childhood until adult experiences. Reading about other cultures is always interesting, esp. when someone's background warrants knowledge. Her memories are explained through food, which sounded wonderful. My grown boys, as well as their friends (after a hug) are usually greeted with "when did you last eat?" I only wish I were capable of preparing such memorable food.
