The writing is excellent and the story pulls the reader forward and craving for some really fine Chinese food.

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a wonderfully entertaining read. My book group read it, and all really enjoyed it. I was particularly enchanted by the descriptions of food, and the culture which produced it.

The main character was also well portrayed, although I sometimes found her angst to be a bit tedious.Book Review: BloG REVIEW AT COOKING WITH IDEAS
