4.0 out of 5 stars The food is wonderful, but this is about more than food!
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020
A wonderful, if short (about 80 pp text), personal essay on food and eating and life and cultures.
Thanks to Emma Press for including the unusual, and difficult in English publishing, Chinese symbols for various words.
Ms Powles is Chinese/Malaysian and from New Zealand, so people do not know what to make of her Caucasian looks as she walks the Asian markets and food courts. She travels about for family and studies, but most of the food here is the various forms of "dumplings' she comes across while studying in Shanghai. We all have to appreciate that she loves street food more than well-healed restaurants!
Having lived in San Fransisco and the Bay Area for most of the '90's, I recognized many of the foods she consumes. I was lucky enough to have one of SF's Shanghai restaurants down the hill from where I lived . And when she included an illustration of their unique dumplings (kind of like a small headed fan-tailed gold fish!), it brought an, "Oh yes!" from me. Ahh, the dumpling noodle soup I bought there so often! I believe it closed before she would have made it to that city in her later travels.
One of the things I miss most during the pandemic lockdown is Asian food. And I have not read a "food book" in some time - so this was a welcome read over an evening. There is much more than "little moons" in here! And much more than food as well. Enjoy. This was a great ebook Christmas gift from my wife!

I loved this book. Even though it is short and very personal, it left me with a warm feeling towards the author. And it made me incredibly hungry.

Cover and design are great, too. This small publisher deserves much more attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Jewel of a Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2021

This is a little jewel of a book. It's like a strung together snapshot of times and places, memories and meals. I read it quickly and the only reason I put it down was because it was making me so hungry I had to keep going and having a snack. She writes beautifully, twining the emotional and physical satisfaction of eating in a perfect blend. It's almost poetic.

I love food books... I am as greedy a reader as I am eater. I did a whole course on this genre in my last year of my degree. And this is a fabulously written, food memoir about eating, memory and identity.

I am stopping myself from gulping it down whole....this is a book to be truly savoured...and an author with a future I look forward to reading.
