Comprising 224 pages, the memoir will explore Zauner’s year spent living in South Korea, “learning Korean in an impossibly challenging language school and forging extraordinary new relationships” with her late mother’s family.

According to the official description, the book will take fans on an “immersive and deeply personal journey through the heart of South Korea”.

It charts “Zauner’s dream of learning her mother’s native language in hopes of being able to read the diary she left behind, and to connect with her family in Seoul”.

“From the beginning, her adventure is beset by difficulties, from the quirky apartment she rents with Peter, her husband and bandmate, to the punishing language school that leaves her in tears,” the listing adds.

“Korean does not come easily to her, even as she fights stubbornly to master it, and the difficulty of living in a foreign city places unexpected new pressures on her marriage.

But there are also profound new pleasures and triumphs during her year abroad: making Korean friends, exploring Seoul’s alternative underground, spending precious time with her mother’s sister, performing songs in a new language.” View this post on Instagram It concludes: “Zauner’s voice is fierce and emotional, her prose more precise and assured than ever, and her honesty is mesmerising, as she shares her failures and her victories with unwavering candour.” During a new interview with ELLE , Zauner explained: “So much of the book is about working really hard.

I was just so hungry and scared of not doing a good job.

I think part of that was this strange psychological feeling after my mom died, of wanting to be this perfect daughter that I wish I could have been when she was alive.” “It felt like I spent all this time learning about Korean food and writing about that, and it just wasn’t enough.

It made me suddenly really want to go further in connecting to that part of my mom’s history and who she was as a person, and so I really regretted not learning the language, and I felt quite embarrassed about it.
