[https://www.nzherald.co.nz/ NZ Herald] journalist Michele Hewitson interviews Meme Churton after the publication of her autobiography [[Memé|Memé, The three worlds of an Italian-Chinese New Zealander]]. Meme was half Chinese and half Italian, grew up in Italy and leaved a few years in Chine before landing in New Zealand in 1950. "She arrived by flying boat in a land where houses smelled like mutton and cauliflower and women dressed badly" writes Hewitson. The whole interview is full of such anecdotes that, paired with Hewitson's writing style, makes this an entertaining read.
