Umami
by Laia Jufresa

Multi-award-winning young author Laia Jufresa brings us a warm, inventive and whimsical tale of missed encounters, missed opportunities, missed people, and those who are left behind. Heartbreaking at times but always compassionate, the story progresses by bringing the characters closer to us, so that we can listen to their life stories.
