This, indeed, would not be a good read for one currently following a strict diet. I assume most readers, myself included, would not want to read this just days into the new year!Bianka Walter wrote: ↑31 Dec 2018, 03:16 Oh, dear. I would hate to read a book like this. You didn't mention, but if the descriptions of the food were good, I would just be tempted to eat through the whole thing.
I love this review, thanks!

I love when books do this successfully. However, it sounds like the rest of the book just doesn’t come together. Thanks for this well-thought our review.In this short read, Melville interacts with a Chinese undergraduate student, a gay professor of antiquities, a female pilot, an Indian prince, and a Nazi general. The author's inclusion of such a diverse range of characters is admirable and significant in light of the pre-WWII timeline.
