I need to stop listening to the most gut-wrenching audiobooks of daughters talking about their relationships with their mothers when I’m at work because I am literally on the edge of tears all the time.

An excellent memoir. I think it describes the themes of grief, food and family very well. I loved all the passionate descriptions of food and the fond memories they hold.

Crying in H Mart is a phenomenal, emotional memoir. As someone who has also lost their mother to cancer, Michelle’s description of her grief and reaction to her mother’s illness and death resonated deeply with me. I love how she uses food as a tool to relate to her mother culture, and to process her grief. Altogether an amazing book and a must-read. Bring the tissues.

I went into this with the full intention of not knowing anything about the premise or the author. And what an absolute joy and privilege to get to know this small family. A galaxy made from violence, gravity, and time. And the world receives every form of art that has grown from this grief in grand abundance. I will happily help to carry the weight and celebrate her life. I see her mother in my mother.
