Industry Reviews
"Wistful, funny and tremendously satisfying. CLIMBING THE MANGO TREES is a memoir about learning to taste, and about being the precocious fifth child in a large, colorful family living in a spectacularly interesting place and time--India in the final years of colonial rule...Jaffrey's taste memories sparkle with enthusiasm, and her talent for conveying them makes the book relentlessly appetizing."
