A memoir of life in Cambodia (and Vietnam and
Thailand). So much death—so much starving—and even when hope was gone, they
managed to survive and, eventually, thrive. Painful to read but not unbearable
because of the tiny sliver of hope she sustains through memories of her
mother’s recipes.
A lot of the recipes are included in the book (22 or so), but it’s definitely not a recipe book. It’s just a lovely memoir of a woman who survived by helping others.
