In strong contention for my Book of the Year and it's only January! The story felt familiar and yet not quite like anything I've ever read before. Wilkerson writes with exceptional humanity and I love the way she talks about food! It's really in line with my own philosophy on food as a vehicle for culture and storytelling.
