Mãn has three mothers: the one who gave birth to her in wartime, the nun who plucks her from a vegetable garden, and her beloved Maman, who becomes a spy to survive. Seeking security for her grown daughter, Maman finds Mãn a husband - a lonely Vietnamese restaurateur who lives in Montreal. Mãn is a mystery, yet she and her husband seem to drift along, respectfully and dutifully. But when she encounters a married chef in Paris, everything changes in an instant of fleeting touch, and Mãn discovers the all-encompassing obsession and ever-present dangers of a love affair.

Work Description

"Oriente-Occidente. Saigón-Montreal. Es el trayecto de Mãn, una joven refugiada a la que su madre quiere proteger casándola con el propietario de un restaurante vietnamita también exiliado en Canadá. Mãn ha aprendido a crecer sin sueños, a vivir sin necesitar apenas nada en apariencia. Pero en la cocina, cuando reinterpreta las sencillas recetas de su infancia, las emociones se desatan: el jugo del tomate recuerda el sufrimiento de un pueblo, un postre acerca dos culturas distintas, el modo tradicional de cortar un pimiento tiene mucho que decir sobre el arte de la seducción. En un sutil vaivén entre pasado y presente, entre el aquí y el allá, Kim Thúy dibuja un hermoso mosaico en el que se mezclan la memoria, el amor y ese extrañamiento (una forma distinta de acceso al saber) que produce el vivir muy lejos del lugar del que procedemos."--Publisher description.
