All the flowers in Shanghai.

All the Flowers in Shanghai by Duncan Jepson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book, it was like a dumpling for my reading soul. It was hot enough to keep me wanting to read it all the time, and delicious in content to keep my mind in it. I throughly enjoy the book and was surprise with it being the writer’s debut novel. The book inspire me to have a bit of courage myself against family politics and I feel better because of it. That’s how strong I related to the book and the writing style is. Give it a taste, you won’t regret your time with this Shanghai girl.

Disappearing Moon Cafe by Sky Lee book review

Another of my aspirations was to do more book reviews. Every time I finished a book, I promise myself to do a review, as a sort of mini-diary about what I read that year. I force myself to start, even if it’s a bit trite, but I’ll work on expressing myself! So let’s start!

Disappearing Moon Cafe: A Novel by Sky Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a recent newcomer to Canada, the book resonated with my feelings of having family and friends far away. It also guided me in a way with the manner in which family dramas progress in the novel, how one thing can change the course of a family. If you’re looking for a read with a balance of both the past, the present, and the future, with ties to a far off home country, and assimilating to a new one, with the echoes of culture on it’s heels, look no further than the Disappearing Moon Cafe.
