Discover Amy Tan's moving and poignant tale of immigrant Chinese mothers and their American-born daughters.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Fat of the Land

Tamara Rose Blodgett ❤️ loved this book because...

This is a great survivalist book about a guy who actually lived with the [then] Eskimos and began a journey of eating that was very different for the time.

Highly recommend if you're interested in science, theory and historical exploration and insights.
