Resounding with the confusion and pain of grief. Filled with the difficulty of grappling with identity in a myriad of confusing circumstances and complex relationships.
Beautiful.

It was alright. I teared up a few times. The descriptions of food were verbose and evocative, sometimes excessively so. I love Maangchi.
This is a story of grief and mourning, of finding your identity and how it changes as you grow, relationships and connections.
