While the story had some interesting elements, I believe its pace could have been more engaging. with altering momentum and more tension-propelled movement. The emotional and psychological parts of the story were too measured or flat. I felt he was telling me that this happened or that occured rather than showing me and luring me into his created world(s). This was the author's first book and do hope he continues to work on his craft. There is potential here. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"A Thousand Wings moves seamlessly in time between present-day San Francisco and Laos in the Vietnam War era to tell the story of one man's courtship of another through food and the shared stories of their Southeast Asian heritage." "For Fong Mun, a successful, thirty-something caterer and cookbook author, food is life; his precious cache of family recipes is inseparable from memory and personal history. But it is his coveted recipe for crispy egg rolls that becomes the catalyst for his fateful meeting with Raymond, a handsome and captivating young Asian who barely remembers his Laotian heritage, and who becomes Fong Mun's window on his own lost past. As a powerful attraction blooms between these two very different men, we savor Fong Mun's memories of Laos through the prism of exotic, mouth-watering Southeast Asian cuisine. In his compelling voice, stories and recipes entwine in a vivid, evocative narrative overlaid with both sorrow and humor."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
