This should have been unremarkable, except that two months earlier her husband left her for another woman.</p><p>In a search of others who had also invested kitchen objects with strong meanings and emotions, Wilson found that this way of thinking might be the rule rather than the exception. Even those who believe theyre not at all sentimental might have a weak spot a grandmothers wooden spoon or a salt shaker inherited from a parent.</p><p>In a late-capitalist world flooded with so much clutter, what to keep and what to let go becomes an overwhelmingly existential question. We hold on to seemingly useless things because of the feelings they inspire, and every time we let go of a cherished object there is a sense of loss. These items, Wilson argues, become powerful symbols of identity and memory, representing everything from friendship, grief and love to superstition, safety and political resistance.</p><p>Crossing continents, cultures and time periods, Wilson weaves her own intimate experiences into a wider narrative that reaches back to the earliest human civilisations. Thoughtful, sharp and beautifully written, <em>The Heart-Shaped Tin</em> is a profoundly moving examination of our relationship to the physical world and the people around us in an increasingly rational and secular age.</p>...(*_*)9780008685645_<p><strong>A 2025 book to look out for by the <em>Guardian and</em> <em>Sunday Times</em></strong></p><p><strong>This strikingly original account from award-winning food writer Bee Wilson charts how everyday objects take on deeply personal meanings in all our lives.</strong></p><p>One ordinary day, the tin in which Bee Wilson baked her wedding cake fell to the ground at her feet. This should have been unremarkable, except that her marriage had just ended.</p><p>Unsettled by her own feelings about the heart-shaped tin, Wilson begins a search for others who have attached strong and even magical meanings to kitchen objects. She meets people who deal with grief or pain by projecting emotions onto certain objects, whether it is a beloved parents salt shaker, a cracked pasta bowl or an inherited china dinner service. Remembering her own mother, a dementia sufferer, she explores the ways that both of them have been haunted by deciding which kitchen utensils to hold on to and which to get rid of when you think you are losing your mind.</p><p>Looking to different continents, cultures and civilisations to investigate the full scope of this phenomenon, Wilson blends her own experiences with a series of touching personal stories that reflect the irrational and fundamentally human urge to keep mementos. Why would a man trapped in a concentration camp decide to make a spoon for himself? Why do some people hoard? What do gifts mean? How do we decide what is junk and what is treasure?
