SmartBean Review
In free verse chapters Tofu Quilt illuminates Yeung Ying’s girlhood in Hong Kong. Ching Yeung Russell’s writing is redolent with sights, sounds, and tastes — a first bitter cup of coffee, and dan lai the sweet custard that inspires her to defy tradition and become a writer. Family resources are slim, but her mother insists “girls and boys are just the same.”
