6.13.2018 - Number One Chinese Restaurant

Number One Chinese Restaurant

Thanks to NetGalley, Henry Holt & Company, and Lillian Li for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is the story of the Beijing Duck House - a family-owned and operated restaurant in Maryland - and the family and employees involved.  There is lots of family drama - two brothers both fighting and helping each other out, mothers who don't always know the best thing to do for their children, debts to others, love interests, loyalty in many different fashions. 

Chinese restaurants in particular are such family-driven establishments and it was interesting to delve more into the dynamics.  However, while I typically love quirky family dramas this one never quite kept my interest as much as I hoped.
