Don't Forget the
Parsley
By Marie Claire Lim
Moore
Genre: Memoir
Marie Claire Lim Moore builds on her first memoir, Don’t Forget the Soap, offering more
entertaining stories about her family in this follow up. Like her first book, Don’t Forget the Parsley is a collection
of anecdotes from different points in Claire’s life: stories from her
second-generation immigrant childhood in Vancouver and New York City mix with
recent expat experiences in Singapore and Hong Kong where she balances multiple
roles as wife and mother, corporate executive and author. Her positively
Filipino parents continue to have a big influence on her whether it comes to
managing family and career, meeting heads of state and world leaders or simply
making new friends. From stray observations (everything is funnier at church)
and midnight anxieties (if Jessica Simpson gets to go to the White House
Correspondents’ Dinner, why shouldn’t I?) to life mantras (don’t let perfection
hold you back) and litmus tests (would you serve drinks at my mother’s art
show?), Claire’s warm and honest storytelling will resonate with readers and
leave them smiling.
