Book excerpt: An inspirational, instructional memoir about a time when thoughtful manners were part of everyday living, even for the young. The book recalls long-ignored family traditions and social customs that the author's mother (one of China's earliest feminists) taught her over many decades. These timeless life recipes are divided into three sections: Recipes for the Soul; Recipes for Successful Relationships; and Recipes for Agreeable Living. Readers also receive insight into a unique point in history: the family's experience of the Japanese invasion of China before the 1949 civil war, and their exodus to a brand new life in Hong Kong.
