Resumen del Editor
Lush and visual, chock-full of delicious recipes, Roselle Lim’s magical debut novel is about food, heritage, and finding family in the most unexpected places.
At the news of her mother’s death, Natalie Tan returns home. The two women hadn’t spoken since Natalie left in anger seven years ago, when her mother refused to support her chosen career as a chef. Natalie is shocked to discover the vibrant neighborhood of San Francisco’s Chinatown that she remembers from her childhood is fading, with businesses failing and families moving out. She’s even more surprised to learn she has inherited her grandmother’s restaurant.
The neighborhood seer reads the restaurant’s fortune in the leaves: Natalie must cook three recipes from her grandmother’s cookbook to aid her struggling neighbors before the restaurant will succeed. Unfortunately, Natalie has no desire to help them try to turn things around - she resents the local shopkeepers for leaving her alone to take care of her agoraphobic mother when she was growing up. But with the support of a surprising new friend and a budding romance, Natalie starts to realize that maybe her neighbors really have been there for her all along.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Lim serves up love, loss, heritage, and hints of the supernatural on a silver platter in this magical and mouthwatering debut.... This eminently filmable tale of finding one’s own path while honoring one’s history is delicious and spellbinding." (Publishers Weekly)
“When you read this book, you can feel the love of culture and food within its pages. More importantly, you can see how entangled food, culture, and family can become. It’s a book about how food can bring people together, but also drive them apart. Filled with lush, lyrical writing, Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune is the kind of book that’ll fill you with warmth, and make you extremely hungry.” (BookRiot)
“What a treat! Reminiscent of Joanne Harris’s bestselling novel, Chocolat, Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck & Fortune is heaped with heart and topped with the sweetest sprinkle of magic, creating a literary and culinary feast. Infused with ancient traditions and tantalizing recipes, Roselle Lim cooks up a mouth-watering tale that’s sure to delight!” (Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times best-selling author of The Life List)

Harper Jenkins is at the top of her game.

But when her awful boss hires talented reporter Ryan to be the new Features Editor, Harper is furious. Because the two have met before: a decade ago, they were interns at the same publication, where they fell into a whirlwind romance…until Ryan betrayed Harper, and they never spoke again.

She's not getting any better, and she fears that if something doesn't change soon she never will.

Billie is looking forward to a quiet, man-free Christmas. It’s just a shame her family doesn't feel the same way. With a house full of unexpected (and unwanted) guests, Billie needs to find the perfect escape to get away from the chaos. So when her dating app recommends a week of singles nights in her area, Billie decides that braving these events has to be better than making conversation with her dad’s new wife, dealing with her mum's mid-life crisis or witnessing her sister flirting with her insufferably arrogant next-door neighbour.

nostalgic
the story reminded me of elements of the Chinese culture of my youth. i confess the use of the Chinese language confused me a bit as soon of it was Mandarin and some Cantonese and some i didn't understand but it didn't take away from the story. loved it!

An angsty listen
I don't quite know how to categorize this one. Women's fiction with romantic elements and magic realism maybe.
I love the richness of culture in the description of traditions, rituals, filial piety, and especially the glorious mouthwatering food. I’m particularly pleased with the Filipino recipes included in the story.
The fraught relationships between Natalie and her agoraphobic mother and between Miranda and her feisty chef mother Qiao reminded me of The Joy Luck Club.
Docking a star for excessive repetition, overly flowery language, and weakness in the romance build-up.

More Development Needed
The dishes made my mouth water. The mom, daughter, and neighborhood relationships kept my attention. The ghost dad and the love match with Danial didn’t work for me! I’m a lover of magic realism but I don’t think it was done well in this book in regards to Natalie’s dad. It seemed like it was thrown in as an afterthought. The relationship with Danial seemed unrealistic. They only had one real date! I was also not a fan of the performance. With that said I’d like to try a few of the recipes!

Not quite a romance not quite literary.
The language is opulent which can orive blinding and sometimes forced on occasion. A lovely story that is weak and frenetic on the romance, and brightly descriptive visually and emotionally. Worth the read, and a great listen while cooking.

Gorgeous!
I wasn’t sure about this book at first because it started off a bit depressing, but dang I’m so glad I stuck with it. It’s incredibly beautiful and like nothing I’ve read before.

Don’t waste your time, this is awful. Poor writing, depressing, and progressively worse storyline. Worst book I’ve read in a long time.

Don't bother!
Awful, repetitive and trite. The author spent chapter after chapter repeating the same content. Predictable and uninspired. Was excited to learn more about Chinese culture but even that was what you'd learn in a bag sitcom.
