emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

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.

Zauner’s writing is impeccable: emotional, thought-provoking, witty. The book invites us to partake in her nostalgia for her home, her family, and the Korean dishes that connect her to her mom.

The story is heartbreaking and gorgeous. It is raw.

I enjoyed it immensely.
