Customer Reviews

A tragic combination of coming of age and the graphic loss of a parent

As a 20 something going through a similar experience described in the book - it was cathartic to read the story of another woman growing up, maturing and being forced to come to terms with the premature loss of a parent. (Though is anyone ever really ready?) A touching story that everyone will have to over come in their lifetime described with heart breaking detail and a beautiful cultural perspective. This book will stick with me for a long time and I'm thankful the author was willing to share such an awful part of life in such a beautiful way. The book came in excellent condition and was exactly how described.

Nice memoir

A memoir filled with love for family, culture, and shared food

Love, loss, culture and identity.

Listened to the audio book - enjoyed hearing Korean words and dishes! Did not like main character - she is spoiled and sometimes rotten. This book will make you consider things you may take for granted.
