i am a British Born Chinese, and although i cannot totally relate to this book, i feel it represents all the Chinese immigrants all those years ago!
it has taught me lot of life in China and Hong Kong and the travelling limitations from one place to another. i now know how life was, which my mother and father contantly tells me of,so that i wont take what i have now for granted. it's a fantastic read, well written!
though with a few typos, but you expect this with the first edition!
i would have loved the recipees though!
RECOMMENDED!
