Sweet Mandarin: The Courageous True Story of Three Generations of Chinese Women and Their Journey from East to West Philo of Alexandria Commentary England to New York inSpanning almost a hundred years, this rich and evocative memoir recounts the lives of three generations of remarkable Chinese women. Their extraordinary journey takes us from the brutal poverty of village life in mainland China, to newly prosperous 1930s Hong Kong and finally to the UK. Their lives were as dramatic as the times they lived through. A love of food and a talent for cooking pulled each generation through the most devastating of upheavals.
