Wow! I realized I'd read the Wash Post op-ed (2021) Annabelle wrote -- about her years assuming the identity of a presumed white French man while working as a restaurant critic in FL. At the time, I thought this would be a great book. Can't wait to read this debut and all subsequent offerings!

Love reading about writers finding their way through the memoir process serendipitously discovering inspiration...mangoes of all things!

This is very inspiring! Thanks Sari. As a journalist and fellow memoirist, I share some of the same writing and researching habits.
