I thoroughly enjoyed reading this funny, warm novel about Taiwan identity and colonialism. The layers of footnotes and translation, the sumptuous descriptions of food, the Class S queer romance – wonderful!
This book is possibly one of the most beautiful things I've ever read, and it was one that I didn't want to end. Rarely is that ever a feeling that I have about a novel, but this one... It felt like an unfortunate thing for it to come to a close, despite its subject matter (which was quite heavy with a focus on colonisation and the love of two women and how those dynamics interconnect).
I love this book, and it's one with a message so rare that I can't think of another one like it. I would encourage everyone to seek it out.
