Description

Tastes Like War: A Memoir by Grace M. Cho is a poignant and evocative exploration of food, family history, and identity.

Growing up in a xenophobic small town during the Cold War, Grace's mother experienced the onset of schizophrenia at 15, a condition that would continue to evolve for the rest of her life. This hybrid memoir is part sociological investigation, part personal search, as Grace seeks to understand the roots of her mother's illness.

Through cooking and sharing meals with her mother, Grace discovered not only the things that broke the brilliant woman who raised her but also the things that kept her alive. A powerful account of the long-term effects of the immigrant experience, Tastes Like War is a moving tribute to the complexities of family history and identity.
