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.

At one point I wasn't quite sure if I could finish this book , it hurt to remember my own pain , but it was cathartic to read and I glad I didn't give up.
This is a beautiful book. Mrs. Zauner , I hope you find more and more happiness in H Mart.
