Описание:
This cancer memoir goes where other books might not. It's a deeply personal look at the cancer patient journey from diagnosis to recovery; and the transformative power of healthy, homely food.
Cancer, Curry & Me gives the reader a glimpse into what life can be like after a breast cancer diagnosis. Each cancer patient's journey is different but some of the struggles remain the same. This is a raw, honest, and unapologetic narrative. One woman using her own experience to shed light on things people are often too scared to talk about.
Food plays an important role in the healing process; spiritually, mentally, and physically. The author draws us into her world of aroma, spice, and the memories associated with familiar flavours. Spices have been used in Ayurveda for centuries - they are the heart and soul of traditional cooking in India and South East Asia. The recipes in this book serve to comfort, boost immunity, and ignite a passion for Nepali and Indian cooking.
This is so much more than your average biography, dealing with topics such as:
The emotional upheaval of a cancer diagnosis
The cultural taboo associated with breasts, the female body, and cancer
The side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation
The physical and mental side effects of a mastectomy and breast reconstruction
How cancer affects caregivers and loved ones
Ayurvedic spices, their properties, and how to use them
Traditional Indian and Nepali recipes that provide good nutrition and improve health
Cancer, Curry & Me is the perfect read for cancer patients looking for a story they can connect with. It's for caregivers and loved ones who are trying to understand. It's for anyone looking for more awareness of what a real health food journey entails.

Описание:
Kathmandu is the reflection of an immigrant mother raising her children in America. Memories of the poet's home, Kathmandu, creep into every moment as she attempts to find a place in her new world. Ghimire flails with grace -- her words work to make sense of the new all while trying to reckon with the past.
Through a journey of political violence from her first home to her new home, she finds enduring love and hope in the first sightings of spring and in the blossoming of her children. Kathmandu speaks of being a neighbor while still feeling out of place, speaking a foreign tongue while finding it to be a lifeline, all the while readjusting the conclusion of what home is.
Ghimire's poems reflect the incomplete circularity of returning and moving forward. To understand her children, she returns to her first years and to her mother. To comprehend maddening gun-violence in America while her children begin attending elementary school, she returns to the bombing of Rajiv Gandhi in India when she was a child and the Royal family massacre in Nepal when she was a teen. To satisfy her immigrant hunger, she returns to semolina pudding, the first comfort food she made as a ten-year-old for her little brother. To persevere through headlines fraught with political calamities, Ghimire remembers surviving, as a child, India's blockades of oil and sugar. To poetize while being lost in transit, she makes art in Walmart. In the twenty-one poems that span a decade, Anuja Ghimire writes about the complexity of never leaving home while moving "to keep things whole."
