Fantastic. No other word for it. Read this book!

Still well-done, very engrossing & vivid in what life was like then (great way for kids to learn history without realizing it) -- not quite as satisfying as the first one ... don't want to give away the plot or ending so I won't say more.

NO I haven't actually finished this yet. I'm getting there. So far I am thoroughly enjoying it.

at first glance this book seems relatively benign, but if you keep reading you will find very mature subject matter.

Akhirnya saya bisa juga baca novel ini. Sejak lihat review novel ini di majalah, saya sudah naksir pengen tahu seperti apa jalan ceritanya..Dan ternyata bagus..Tema ceritanya menarik, karena sebelumnya saya belum pernah baca buku yang menceritakan suka duka kehidupan Imigran (terutama imigran jepang),jadi waktu membaca buku ini saya sangat menikmati jalan ceritanya.. Layak dibaca oleh siapapun.. ^_^ Singkat cerita : Menjadi imigran di Amerika tidaklah mudah, juga bagi Katie Takeshima dan keluarganya. Apalagi saat keluarga Takeshima harus menutup toko makanan Asia yang mereka miliki di Iowa dan pindah ke Chesterfield, Georgia. Di sana orangtua Katie bekerja sebagai buruh peternakan ayam, berjuang mengumpulkan uang sedikit demi sedikit untuk membeli rumah. Di satu sisi juga harus berjuang untuk berasimilasi dengan masyarakat AS. Menghadapi prasangka dari sebagian masyarakat, menghadapi tatapan aneh dari orang-orang yang berpapasan dengan mereka di jalan, serta perlakuan yang kurang manusiawi terhadap buruh pabrik, profesi yang dijalani orangtua Katie. Beruntung ada Lynn, kakak Katie, yang selalu menjadikan hidup “bersinar” (kira-kira, dalam bahasa Jepang, alias glittering atau shining dalam bahasa Inggris). Kata itulah yang pertama dikenal Katie dari sang kakak. Lynn juga yang menjelaskan pada Katie kenapa orang-orang selalu berhenti dan menatap mereka saat berpapasan di jalan. Lynn-lah yang menjelaskan kepada Katie saat beberapa anak di sekolah tak mau berbicara pada mereka. Lynn juga, dengan cara uniknya memandang dunia, yang mengajar Katie melihat kehidupan jauh ke depan. Menjadi jembatan antar anggota keluarga dan selalu meyakinkan keluarganya bahwa selalu ada harapan bagi keluarga mereka untuk hidup lebih baik. Namun tak ada harapan bagi Lynn sendiri saat ia jatuh sakit. Keluarga mereka pun mulai pecah. Dan Katie-lah yang harus berusaha menyatukan kembali dan menunjukkan "kira-kira" dalam hidup pada keluarganya. Bersetting tahun 1950-an, Cynthia Kadohata, sang penulis, cukup cantik memaparkan persoalan yang dihadapi keluarga imigran Jepang di AS serta hubungan kakak beradik, Katie dan Lynn, serta saudara laki-laki mereka, Sammy. Sebagian besar kisah yang ada di novel ini merupakan kejadian nyata, begitu juga hubungan yang ada, khususnya hubungan antara Katie dan Lynn. review dari deeyand.multiply.com I say : Saya agak kurang sreg dengan cover bukunya. Bayangan saya covernya gak jauh beda dengan cover buku terbitan Simon & Schuster. Kesannya simple banget dan minim desain. Jadinya isi bukunya tak terwakili oleh cover.. Tapi ceritanya saya suka banget..Sembari membaca saya membayangkan keadaan yang dialami Katie dan keluarganya di era tahun 50-an, dimana perbedaan ras bangsa masih menjadi persoalan yang serius..yang pada akhirnya menyengsarakan kaum imigran itu sendiri..

Since I picked up this book this morning and have already finished it, I would say it was a decent read! I am engaged by Kathy Reichs' books and like the tv series that loosely accompanies it.

There are books about the food of a place, and there are books about culinary adventures. Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper is more of a food ethnography, as the reader experiences the specific food cultures of China along with Fuchsia. She morphs from being scared of gelatinous texture to thinking more like a Chinese person than an English person in regard to food. "Texture is the last frontier for Westerners learning to appreciate Chinese food. Cross it, and you're really inside. But the way there is a wild journey that will bring you face to face with your own worst prejudices...." The majority of the book focuses on food from the Sichuan Province, as she spent many years there, first as a student and then just as an expatriate. Other chapters dabble in other regions and their cuisines, serving as a reminder of what a variety of people groups and heritages various parts of China encompasses. This is a journey I could never take, largely because I do not eat meat, but even more so because this was a journey that spanned fifteen years. This is not a tourist encounter with "weird food" that lasts only two weeks. This is an adulthood-long dive into the layers and history of Chinese food. Her background as a journalist, and growing up in an international-student-friendly home, both contributed to her ability to take on this type of adventure. This book made me HUNGRY. I ordered dan-dan noodles locally, knowing they don't even come close to the version she was describing that she purchased from a street vendor. I also made scallion "flatcakes" out of desperation.

I have become somewhat skeptical--even jaded--about the memoir genre in recent years, so I only read this based on a friend's recommendation. This one got me. I think the main appeal to me was that Karr looks back on some colossal screw-ups and rather than falling into maudlin sentimentality, she reflects on them thoughtfully. This is on one level a memoir about alcoholism, but it's also about one writer's life, which ultimately fascinated me.
