? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

What does it mean to live communally? Find out in Group Living and Other Recipes by Lola Milholland, a vibrant memoir that blends personal narrative with cultural and environmental insights. Through a mix of anecdotes, recipes, and reflections, Milholland explores the dynamics of communal living and multicultural experiences, both things our author knows a thing or two about.

The book chronicles Milholland’s life growing up in a family deeply invested in eco-minded, communal living. Milholland’s life saw her jump around between the US — where she grew up — and Japan — where she studied, which pushed her into drawing comparisons between both cultures. Her writing also sees her examining her Filipino heritage and her friend’s Thai background, all which she does so effortlessly through metaphors linking cooking and community.

The target audience? The book will resonate most with readers who share Milholland’s values of environmental stewardship and communal living, serving as a reminder of the importance of connection and shared experience.
