The five novels span from 2019 to 2025 and show Lim moving between different settings and scenarios while keeping her interest in food and cultural identity at the center. Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune and Vanessa Yu’s Magical Paris Tea Shop are the most widely read, both mixing contemporary women’s fiction with light magical elements tied to culinary traditions.
Sophie Go’s Lonely Hearts Club takes a different angle, with a matchmaker protagonist navigating the Chinese-Canadian community in 1920s Toronto. Night for Day and Celestial Banquet continue the pattern of standalone stories that share a mood and sensibility more than plot or characters.
