Descriere magazin:
A haunting and beautiful memoir from a Cambodian refugee who lost her country and her family during Pol Pot\'s genocide in the 1970s but who finds hope by reclaiming the recipes she tasted in her mother\'s kitchen. With over 20 Khmer recipes included, Slow Noodles will resonate with readers who loved the food and emotional truth of Michelle Zauner\'s Crying in H Mart, and it has the staying power of Loung Ung\'s First They Killed My Father. I\'ve never read a book that made me weep, wince, laugh out loud, and rejoice like Slow Noodles. In Chantha Nguon\'s harrowing, wise, and fiercely feminist memoir, cooking is a language--of love, remembrance, and rebellion--and stories are nourishment. --Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful Take a well-fed nine-year-old with a big family and a fancy education.

For Nguon, recreating these dishes becomes an act of resistance, of reclaiming her place in the world, of upholding the values the Khmer Rouge sought to destroy, and of honoring the memory of her beloved mother. From her idyllic early years in Battambang to hiding as a young girl in Phnom Penh as the country purges ethnic Vietnamese like Nguon and her family, from her escape to Saigon to the deaths of mother and sister there, from the poverty and devastation she experiences in a war-ravaged Vietnam to her decision to flee the country. We follow Chantha on a harrowing river crossing into Thailand--part of the exodus that gave rise to the name boat people--and her decades in a refugee camp there, until finally, denied passage to the Wes
