Audiobook. Long ( I’m about 6 hours in) but beautifully read and the histories (and the myths) are very detailed. Perfect for long drives or lovey days outside.

Fun!

This is an amazing “cook” book! More of an educational as well as a relationship story between Umma (mother) and her chef daughter.

Hysterical.

So far I’m intrigued by the setting of Eastern NC, which is where I live, an how accurate Cash is at describing the feel of that part of the state in the late 70s- 80s and the slow progressive changes taking place in the cities. He is quite accurate as to the unchanging ultra conservatism of Eastern NC, especially east of I-95.

The other aspect of the book drawing me in is the father-daughter relationship.

DNF. I usually really like Lisa Scottaline books but half way through this one I just lost interest. I will revisit this one later.

I enjoyed the time line POVs as well as the historical importance of the story of Poland during WWII. The family mystery ( present POV) is one, I think, of the sad realities many of face by not getting enough of our parents and elders personal histories.
