Then wrapped nicely in a brocade box. Step into a world of delicate twists & curving refinement. Review: slow start but keep going - a great look into China's porcelain world - This is the third book i've read by Nicole Mones - I started with The Last Chinese Chef (a MUST read - loved it) and then Lost in Translation (not the same plot as movie by same name - MUCH better than that), and now Cup of Light. It was slow starting, but i guess that was establishing the backstory of the main character. Although each book has different characters i'm beginning to see a similarity between the main female characters - which is fine because they, and the story woven around them, are interesting and worth exploring. There is only one Nicole Mones left, sadly, and i hope she writes more books. Cup of Light provides an amazing look into the history of porcelain in China and the smuggling trade. Once you get a bit past the beginning the book picks up and by the middle it is completely addictive. so many parallel stories and POVs. Definitely worth a read IMHO. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,676,219 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #785 in Multigenerational Fiction (Books) #5,467 in Family Saga Fiction #8,944 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 187 Reviews | ## Images ![A Cup of Light: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71liFeRgXZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charming… as a porcelain antique *by R***R on May 4, 2025* Skillfully constructed & expertly turned. Then wrapped nicely in a brocade box. Step into a world of delicate twists & curving refinement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ slow start but keep going - a great look into China's porcelain world *by J***J on August 12, 2022* This is the third book i've read by Nicole Mones - I started with The Last Chinese Chef (a MUST read - loved it) and then Lost in Translation (not the same plot as movie by same name - MUCH better than that), and now Cup of Light.

Definitely worth a read IMHO. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Enjoyable, Entertaining, and Informative *by B***R on November 7, 2014* Nicole Mones has a unique formula, and uses it to perfection. Her characters are always interesting, her stories unique, and the historical content nuanced and developed. This book is not the equal of Lost In Translation, but is nonetheless, excellent. Enjoyable to read, hard to put down, and perhaps, the greatest compliment, one wishes it were fleshed out more, and that it continued on. Nicole Mones, I am a fan of your writing. I have already ordered your third book, and will make it a point to stay abreast and read any and all books that you generate. These books are not classical works of art, but they are different from anything else, and wonderfully entertaining. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28686396-a-cup-of-light-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28686396-a-cup-of-light-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
