Description
Umma's Table is a poignant and beautifully illustrated graphic novel about the power of food to bring people together. When an artist and new father moves to the countryside with his family, he finds himself torn between his desire for a peaceful life and the demands of caring for his ailing parents back in Seoul. As he struggles to cope with exhaustion and frustration, he turns to memories of his mother's traditional cooking, particularly her famous kimchi, to find comfort and connection. As his mother's health declines, Madang races to learn her recipes and bring together their family at the table one last time. This is a heartwarming and thought-provoking meditation on how food can transcend generations and bind families together across distance and adversity. Through its simple yet evocative illustrations and poignant storytelling, Umma's Table explores the universal human desire for connection, community, and a sense of belonging.
