emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

This was such a crazy experience, I’ve heard good things about it here and there and since I loved Zauner and her music discography, I decided to pick it up. I didn’t pick it up for months until I decided to bring it for reading material on the plane and I really did just devour this in the span of 4 days.
Zauner’s descriptions for her family and food are so vivid it really does make you feel at home with all the memories you’ve experienced. There’s so many things that tickled a part of my brain where I know something similar has happened in my life being an Asian immigrant in Canada.
Crying in H Mart is a perfect celebration of life and family and I loved so many bits of it even if  some of it is as mundane as reminiscing the many times when someone cooks you a meal you will never forget and trying to make it years down the line. This book does a lot for me and if you’re a fan of biographical books and or Zauner in general, I’d highly recommend this book. It pairs well with Psychopomp and Soft Sounds from Another Planet.

Beautifully written. Talks about the dark, painful parts of caring for a sick parent and grieving their death. And about the pain of being mixed race and losing your culture when you lose a parent. Plus wonderful descriptions of food.

5.0

A personal and comforting memoir that focuses on maternity, artistry, and culture. Zauner shares a tender story that a wide variety of readers can relate to. Her articulate nature creates a delicate narration, adding value and substance to the  narrative. One of the best works of literature I’ve picked up in a long time.
