No sabía nada de esta historia cuando comencé a leerla y, al ir avanzando en la trama, mis sentimientos se vieron arrastrados en una ola tras otra.
Michelle, la protagonista y narradora, ha tenido una relación difícil con su madre a lo largo de su vida, especialmente por su interés por desarrollar una carrera musical. Además, al ser hija de madre coreana y padre norteamericano, la adaptación siempre le ha costado. Cuando muere su tía pareciera que las cosas con su mamá mejorarían pero no es sino ...more

My father died of cancer 2014. This book reminded me of too many things I'd rather had forgotten for always. It was cruel. None of the descriptions prepared me for that. So - I'm going to warn you. Graphic description of the effects of cancer, cancer treatments, last days of a beloved one dying, all the pain that you can witness, but not do a thing to alleviate.
But, it was good. Honest, deep, touching. Real. And gave me yet another insight to the Korean culture. BTW, watch Maangchi on YouTube. ...more

I listened to this one, so it took me forever. I LOVED to hear her story in her own voice and found it profoundly moving. It is truly impressive the way she has unpacked and found meaning in all the trauma life threw her way. I found my self both laughing out loud and crying throughout. Maybe a bit slow, maybe a bit overly descriptive at some points? I expected more from the ending, it seemed to just stop mid-story, but maybe that was intentional?
This is the story of how one survives after the death of a mother. It was sad, but also kept your attention.
The author is very talented. She is a musician, writer and even performs the audible - and did an amazing job.
I came away from it... wanting to eat asian food, travel and love on my family.
