Summary:
"Det er magi vi skaper, ikke sant, Abuela? -Nå ja, det er avgjort en måte å se det på, svarte hun tankefullt. Eller kanskje det er magien som skaper oss. Sebastian drømmer om å være som de andre gutta, å kunne løpe som en vind over fotballbanen og sparke ballen i en perfekt bue, rett i mål. Men en hjertefeil gjør at han må stå på sidelinjen. Sebastian finner sin arena på kjøkkenet hos Abuela Lola, og sammen tilbereder de store middager med eksotiske retter fra bestemors hjemland Puerto Rico. Dette fører en splittet familien sammen rundt middagsbordet. Et måltid tilberedt med kjærlighet nærer ikke bare kroppen, men også sjelen", sier Abuela Lola. Mofongo er Samartin-magi på sitt aller beste. Dette er en fortelling om å danse med døden, om hvordan små seire bygger vakre liv, om kjærlighet og lengsel gjennom generasjoner og hjerter som brister på så mange måter. Mofongo viser at skille mellom glede og sorg ikke er skjørt, men nesten usynlig."--Back cover
"Sebastian dreams of running like the wind across the soccer field and scoring countless goals, but his
heart
defect forces him to stand on the sidelines and watch. His parents overprotect him, but they’re unable to shield him from their family problems or the bullies at school. Fortunately, Sebastian finds sanctuary in his grandmother’s kitchen. Working side by side, preparing exotic dishes from her homeland of Puerto Rico, they discover a new purpose that brings them healing and hope. A story for the entire family, “Mofongo” is about creating heaven on earth, and learning how to listen with your
heart
. Readers will come away with a renewed appreciation for life and the delicious realization that a meal prepared with love not only feeds the body, it nurtures the soul."--Author's website.
