Mr B's review

Part kitchen notebook, part travel journal, part diary, Tiny Moons is truly a treat: a bite-sized memoir exploring questions of heritage and identity, longing and belonging. Alone in Shanghai, Powles ruminates on childhood comfort foods and family feasts, Shanghai street food and student dinners, all rendered in mouthwatering detail: sticky, savoury buns and sizzling ginger, sweet banana fritters and perfectly ripe fruit. The food is the focus, but Powles’s lyrical musings on family, culture, and the search for community are what I savoured. I dare you not to devour Tiny Moons in one sitting! – Liv
