Natalie Tan's Book of Luck and Fortune by Roselle Lim, 299 pagesNatalie Tan is a nomadic chef, traveling the world instead of staying at home with her agoraphobic mother. But when her mother dies unexpectedly, Natalie finds herself traveling home to San Francisco's Chinatown, and attempting to reopen the restaurant that her grandmother once ran. Despite her intentions to stay out of neighborhood life, when the local seer passes along Natalie's grandmother's cookbook with some very specific instructions, Natalie becomes intertwined with the lives of the people around her. Sprinkled with bits of magic and mouthwatering food descriptions, this was a wonderful summer read. Pairs well with dumplings and tea.
