Wow so good. Covers a complicated mother-daughter relationship, loss and grief, Korean-American identity, connection to food and culture. Read this with Psychopomp in the background and lots of tears and UGH. Kind of slow at the end, but it kind of felt like dragging through grief, kind of mimicking her own experience maybe? I don’t know if enjoyed is the right word, but I highly loved reading this.

I listened to this in bits and pieces over the past few months. There were some truly touching moments and memories connected through food and culture and disagreement and grief and love. I'm glad I listened to the audiobook, narrated by the author, especially so I could hear the pronunciations of the Korean names and foods. Unfortunately, as happens with audiobooks for me, I've already forgotten many of the details, with only a few notable, heart-rending passages -- like the discovery of photos in the kimchi fridge -- sticking with me.
