Roselle Lim writes about food the way some authors write about landscape: as something with memory, meaning, and sometimes literal magic. Her novels tend to center on women navigating cultural expectations, family history, and their own desires, with cooking and eating woven into how those themes play out.

Her work draws on Chinese and Filipino cultural traditions, though the settings vary. Some novels are set in North America, others in Paris. What stays consistent is her interest in how heritage shapes the choices her characters make.
