Each essay in this collection is a bite-sized bit of loveliness. Nezhukumatathil is just a few years older than me, with two boys just ahead of mine, and her musings on family and food and memory as her children are on the cusp of college hit me at just the right time. 

This book would make an excellent gift. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy. Just a few essays in, I knew I'd be buying a hardcopy to keep by my reading chair and slowly savor, an essay at a time.
