"Read this book. It is the story of an amazing family and their sweet and sour, hot and bitter lives"
Xinran, author of The Good Women of China.

Sweet Mandarin is endorsed by Amy Tan
"Sweet Mandarin is a banquet of family stories that take us from a small Chinese village to cosmopolitan Hong Kong and urban Manchester.   Along the way, the ingredients of special dishes and a rich life are added:  a homemade stock of hard life,  a pound of tragedy, a spoonful of daring, a dash of curses, and dollop after dollop of sheer will.  This is a family memoir of survival and victories, luck and determination, and perpetual mounds of dirty dishes waiting to be washed. "  Amy Tan

"Thank you to all the schools, colleges and universities worldwide who are using Sweet Mandarin for English literature, Asian/Chinese/East Asian studies and Citizenship."

"Cayman Islands
Walkers-Tse Literary Prize - Radio Announcement".
