Abstract:
"Spanning almost a hundred years, this rich and evocative true story recounts the lives of three generations of remarkable Chinese women. Fleeing the brutal poverty of mainland China, Helen Tse's grandmother, Lily Kwok, lived and worked in Hong Kong, then moved to the UK in the 1950s, all the while honing her famous chicken curry recipe. Eventually she opened one of Manchester's earliest Chinese restaurants where her daughter, Mabel, worked from the age of nine. Tragically, the family lost the restaurant, and it was up to Helen and her sisters, the third generation of these exceptional women, to re-establish their grandmother's dream. Sweet Mandarin shows how the most important inheritance is wisdom, and how recipes - passed down by generations - can be the most valuable heirloom"--Publisher's web site.
