When Grace was fifteen, her dynamic mother experienced the onset of schizophrenia, a condition that would continue and evolve for the rest of her life.Part food memoir, part sociological investigation, Tastes Like War is a hybrid text about a daughters search through intimate and global history for the roots of her mothers schizophrenia. In her mothers final years, Grace learned to cook dishes from her parents childhood in order to invite the past into the present, and to hold space for her mothers multiple voices at the table.
