How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger, Love and Plenty by Bonny Reichert

How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger, Love and Plenty by Bonny Reichert

A moving memoir from a chef, award-winning Canadian journalist, and daughter of a Holocaust survivor. How to Share an Egg is a journey of deep flavours and surprising contrasts. By turns sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, this is one woman’s search to find her voice as a writer, chef, mother, and daughter. Do the tiny dramas of her life matter in comparison to everything her father has seen and done? This moving exploration of heritage, inheritance, and self-discovery sets out to find the answer.
