MOTHER'S DAY SPECIALS! SHOW ME MORE
Born in Melbourne, Victoria to her Japanese father and Australian mother, Kumi Taguchi grew up in rural New South Wales learning classical violin from the age of five, and won a scholarship to study music at the University of Wollongong, before becoming a journalist. She is now the host of SBS’s Insight.
‘An aching, longing book of hard-won truths. If you’ve ever felt homesick no matter where you are, or floored by grief and familial duty, let Kumi Taguchi and her story be your companion.’ -- <B>Ben Law</B> Kumi’s story is at once so personal to her, yet utterly universal in our own search for identity, stories and the meaning of who we are at our core. A visceral, thoughtful and emotionally compelling read. -- <B>Melissa Leong</B> ‘Like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, Kumi weaves gold through the pieces of her life – and her father's – binding every part with empathy, compassion and understanding that will speak to anyone who has struggled to understand their parent, themselves and the world they live in.’ -- <B>Amy Remeikis</B> ‘A tender and contemplative reflection of the guideposts that have marked the life of one of Australia’s premier long-form interviewers. Kumi turns the lens on herself to examine her family’s kaleidoscopic multi-national heritage and choices formed by circumstance, tragedy and resilience.’ -- <B>Jeremy Fernandez</B>
