I have been a fan of Japanese Breakfast for quite a few years. When I found out that Michelle Zauner was releasing a book I was interested to read it, especially since it was so well received!
Zauner's writing is so descriptive. So many of her recollections felt full of warmth, others cold and hard to swallow. Her pain was bare in each choice of word. While reading, I couldn't help but want to hold onto my mom and try to think about how I can be better to her.
The large presence of food as a connection to culture, family, and love was beautiful. Food is everything; food is our memories and our hearts and our family and Zauner shows this throughout the entire book. It is a part of herself she isn't sure can exist with her loss. It is, overall, how her and her mother connected.
Such a wonderful, heart wrenching memoir.
