Submit ReviewMonique Truong is an award-winning author - but she’s really a Southern girl twice over, having been born in South Vietnam and lived in the American South. Her 3 acclaimed novels are all must-reads - The Book of Salt (2003), Bitter in the Mouth (2010), and The Sweetest Fruits (2019). You can also find her writing on food and writing all over the mainstream - and foodie - media. And just so none of our parents are worried, if none of that works out, she can always fall back on her background as an intellectual property attorney. From stories of awkward meals to loving parents, you won't want to hear this one on an empty stomach.
