Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Such an emotional, beautiful depiction of life, death, and family. Zauner’s poetic writing style hums on the page, and her colorful food descriptions made me excited to explore Korean cuisine.  Cultural ties, connection through food, grief, becoming your caretaker’s caretaker, all impactful themes. I especially loved her description of pulling together threads of her mother through the parts of herself she’d shared with loved ones—and pulling together her image of herself without her mother’s knowledge to underpin it.
