I really wish goodreads let you do half stars. At least for 3-1/2. I often wonder why there aren't more books out there about student exchange. This isn't that, but it is about someone who's pulled between different worlds (born in one country to parents from two different countries and who subsequently divorce), and figuring out where to make her home. It's a bit different than immigrant stories--some similar elements, but not the same.

And there's food. And recipes, for things I want to eat right now like yeasted plum cake and panade (though not necessarily in that order). I'm changing my rating to 4 stars. Though I really give it a 3.68.

Seems as if in this increasingly globalized world this story will be more and more familiar. I'm hoping people chime in with all sorts of recommendations for books about people living between countries...… (altro)
