Tränen im Asia-Markt

A life-affirming and touching story that lingers long after reading. In this moving memoir, the singer of the indie rock band Japanese Breakfast reflects on the intense final months before her mother's death; on growing up under her strict gaze; on the lively summer vacations in Seoul; on the feeling of not fully belonging in either the USA or Korea. And on the comforting foods that brought her and her mother together time and again. "A book that often leaves the reader with misty eyes, but at the same time creates an incredible appetite: for life. And for kimchi." Der Freitag. "Zauner's open and sincere approach to the topic of death comes as an unexpected gift that meets a deep need." Vogue.
