5.0

This book was not only beautifully written but such a unique story. Heartbreaking and heartwarming--it had it all! I loved the depictions of food and art, and the whole thing felt very physical. As in, I could taste the foods, feel the emotions, see the scenery, all that. It was really visceral while also having beautiful prose, so I have no choice but to award it the ole 5 stars!
