Reviews
One of Elle 's Best and Most Anticipated Books of 2023 "A sort of road trip through a complex mother-daughter relationship in nine essays, journalist Connie Wang's collection is electric with warmth, humor, and intellect, as so well-captured in the book's title. A literal translation of the closest Chinese expression to "Oh my God," Oh My Mother! is poised to be a glowing debut." --Elle "Mother and daughter relationships are always tricky but this peripatetic pair has outdone all of us with this most excellent adventure written by my namesake, author Connie Wang." --Connie Chung " Oh My Mother! could well be Oh My! It's really Connie Wang's journey, with her mother along for the ride, as mentor, antagonist, and instigator of all sorts of adventures and insights. It's as much a journal of travails as travels, but Wang, a sharp, unsparing journalist, finds and shares lessons at every stop." --Ben Fong-Torres, One of Elle 's Best and Most Anticipated Books of 2023 One of Oprah Daily ' s Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2023 One of Bustle ' s Most Anticipated Books of Spring and Summer 2023 One of Brit + Co ' s Brand New Books We're Excited to Read in 2023 One of Zibby Mag ' s Most Anticipated Spring and Summer Books One of BookRiot ' s Most Anticipated Travel Books of 2023 "A sort of road trip through a complex mother-daughter relationship in nine essays, journalist Connie Wang's collection is electric with warmth, humor, and intellect, as so well-captured in the book's title. A literal translation of the closest Chinese expression to 'Oh my God,' Oh My Mother! is poised to be a glowing debut." --Elle "Hilarious, candid, and heartfelt, this outstanding memoir centers around a unique and memorable mother-daughter duo traveling around the world. It's like Eat Pray Love meets The Amazing Race with hints of Cathy Park Hong's hit essay collection, Minor Feelings. . . . In each essay, journalist and memoirist Connie Wang explores her complicated bond with her charismatic mother, Qing Li, and the many 'oh my God' moments that arise through their adventures. Their connection is equal parts endearing and infuriating as only mother-daughter relationships can be." --Oprah Daily "Connie Wang's memoir examines her relationship with her 'stubborn and charismatic' mother, as the pair go on an Eat, Pray, Love -style joyride around the world. From taking edibles in Amsterdam, to visiting 'restaurants the size of department stores' in Jinan China, to shuffling through Versailles to visiting a Magic Mike strip spectacular in Las Vegas, this mother-daughter duo are an irresistible pair." --Bustle "Each essay in Wang's memoir explores the relationship between mother and daughter using the Chinese expression wo de ma ya (the closest thing to "oh my god") as an overarching theme. From exploring Versailles to trying edibles in Amsterdam, Wang and her mother Qing Li embark on crazy adventures all over the world and come closer together in the process." --Brit + Co "This memoir in essays explores journalist Connie Wang's complex relationship with her mother through nine astonishing moments in their travels together." --BookRiot "Mother and daughter relationships are always tricky but this peripatetic pair has outdone all of us with this most excellent adventure written by my namesake, author Connie Wang." --Connie Chung " Oh My Mother! could well be Oh My!

Wang drives to the heart of how a daughter comes to know her mother as someone with a life beyond motherhood. . . . A creative and entertaining shared memoir of identity, place, and [Wang and her mother's] indelible connection to each other." --Kirkus "This charming joint memoir . . . is by turns hilarious and touching, and defined by Wang's loving refusal to take her mother, and anything about her, for granted." -- Booklist (starred review), One of Elle 's Best and Most Anticipated Books of 2023 One of Oprah Daily ' s Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2023 "A sort of road trip through a complex mother-daughter relationship in nine essays, journalist Connie Wang's collection is electric with warmth, humor, and intellect, as so well-captured in the book's title.

Synopsis
"Humorous, endearing, and intimate." --TIME "Mother and daughter relationships are always tricky but this peripatetic pair has outdone all of us with this most excellent adventure written by my namesake, author Connie Wang." --Connie Chung A dazzling mother-daughter adventure around the world in pursuit of self-discovery, a family reckoning, and Asian American defiance In Chinese, the closest expression to oh my god is wo de ma ya . It's an interjection, a polite expletive, something to say when you're out of words. Translated literally, it means oh my mother --the instinctual first person you think of when you're on the cusp of losing it, or putting it all together. In each essay of this hilarious, heartfelt, and pitch-perfectly honest memoir, journalist Connie Wang explores her complicated relationship to her stubborn and charismatic mother, Qing Li, through the "oh my god" moments in their travels together. From attending a Magic Mike strip show in Vegas to experimenting with edibles in Amsterdam to flip-flopping through Versailles, this iconic mother-daughter duo venture into the world to find their place in it, and sometimes rail against it--as well as against each other. There are hijinks, capers, and adventures. There is also tenderness, growth, and discovery. In telling these stories about the places they've gone and the things they've done, Wang reveals another story: the true story of two women who finally learned that once we are comfortable with the feeling of not belonging--once we can reject the need to belong to any place, community, census, designation, or nation--we can experience something almost like freedom.

The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
