Kim Suneé, Korean-born orphan, traveler, gourmand, magazine editor and now author has a memoir/travel log Trail of Crumbs: Hunger, Love, and the Search for Home. One plug for her new book reads:
Kim Sunée’s mysterious origins have given her both the exile’s curse and the exile’s charmed life.
This coming of age memoir is brave, emotional, and gorgeously written.”
—Frances Mayes, author of UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN
. . . but it ends with her eating really good food (not the landlady’s dog either), so it’s an interesting ending that might leave some tears on one’s gnocchi. She also has an article in the NY Times on her book and interesting life of wandering. Her blog is here.

So it’s a poor little rich girl story…super.
She travels to eat…quite the intellect.
Yeah, I hate to say it but, I can understand her sense of displacement because she is all over the globe, never finding a center. Hell for her would have flowers and note cards but still be hell because of her lack of awareness.
